Donald Ramsay WWI Draft Registration Card Okanogan County, WA. October 1918

Donald Ramsay's WWI Draft Registration Card, Tonasket, Okanogan County, WA October 1918. Donald was an older brother of Lillian Mae Ramsay who was the mother of Elsie (Galloway) Hamilton. Donald lists his nearest relative as his mother, Mary A. Ramsay. Donald's late father was James Ramsay. Donald had two older brothers, George and John. It's very interesting that Donald lists his present employer as John Ramsay of Lake Saskatoon, Alberta and that is also the address he gives for his mother, Mary A. Ramsay! Lake Saskatoon is now a ghost town way up in the Grande Prairie county of Northern Alberta. The interesting thing is that this is the area that their younger sister, Lillian moved to with her second husband, William Fee, after their marriage in December of 1907. It seems reasonable to assume that the Fee's introduced the Ramsay brothers to the Grande Prairie, AB area. I'm assuming that Donald was farming his brother John's land near Wauconda, WA for him in his absence. Donald gives the legal description of the land he is farming as the 'location' of his employer on his registration card.
