    • Other than an article in the local newspaper indicating that he had departed for training on Sep 6 1918, there is no evidence that Everett M. Knight ever served in the U.S. military. The article stated that he was part of a group of thirteen Doddridge County recruits in the so-called Limited Service class, indicating that they had certain physical limitations that would preclude full-scale military combat training and duties. This is consistent with his WW I draft registration card of June 1918, which indicated that he had a broken arm. In the 1930 Census, in response to the question as to whether he was a veteran of the U.S. military, his answer was No. His obituary also makes no mention of military service.
