Ocy Harrison Seay

Notes:

When he registered for the Draft during World War I, he was farming on Rt. 7 in Canton, Texas. He listed his date and place of birth as Oct 20, 1894 in Conral, Texas, and was shown as a resident of Van Zandt, Texas. He described himself as married and the father of one child. As no children are listed with the couple on the 1920 census, it would appear that the child died at a young age. He was shown as of medium build, with blue eyes and brown hair. The form was completed on June 5, 1917.

Find A Grave records show son Douglas Seay did indeed die in 1918, at the age of only 18 months. As no other children are listed with the couple on the 1930 or 1940 census, he may have been there only child.
