Leon Wesley ANDREWS, Sr.^[1]

1900 - 1984  (83 years)

• Name	Leon Wesley ANDREWS
  Suffix	Sr.
  Birth	1 Aug 1900	Martin Co, NC   [2]
  	Place of birth in Index lists Bethel RFD. Bethel is in Pitt County adjacent to Martin County. Interesting note: US Postal Service's Rural Free Delivery had only begun in 1890 and was fully implemented across the United States in 1902. I believe from this information, a home mail delivery address given as place of birth, that Leon was born at home.
  Gender	Male
  WWI	12 Sep 1918  [3]
  	Leon registered for the draft. He was described as medium height, slender build, having light blue eyes and brown hair.
  Occupation	1918, 1940	Farmville, Pitt Co, NC   [3, 4]
  	Leon was a farmer. In 1918 Leon's father signed his draft registration so I surmise Leon was living at home and working on the family farm. The 1940 US Census noted that Leon rented his home, and his 1942 draft card gave John T. Bynum as his employer.
  Death	31 Jan 1984	Farmville, Pitt Co, NC   [5, 6]
  	Leon died at home and was 83 years old at the time of his death.
  Burial	Farmville, Pitt Co, NC
