Brothers in Uniform


 Charles Wesley "Bub" Leffel & Kerby Leffel

Both, Kerby and Charles W., registered for the World War I draft on 12 Sep 1918.  Charles Wesley "Bub" Leffel  registered in Comanche County, Oklahoma, where he was living at the time.  Kerby registered in Kiowa County.  Since they are in uniforms, they apparently were drafted and served in the army.  There is no record of their service at this time.  After the war, both brothers were living at home with their wives and families in the 1920 census.

I love this picture, especially the female peeking out of the rear opening of the car.  Since both men were married at the time, the female peeking out of the rear window of the car could have been either one of their wives.
