Feick, manufacturer, on May 14, 1918, at Kitchener (formerly Berlin), and states that Ralph Dunke Feick was born on 16 August, 1900, at Elmira. It states that the parents were married on 24th May, 1887, at Elmira, and that they are Andrew William Feick, Kitchener, manufacturer, and Salome Dunke, married woman. Ralph is still in his parents household as of the 1921 census at Kitchener. As of the 1930 U.S. census he is at South Bend, Indiana, where he appears to have spent the rest of his life. With the entry of the United States into the 2nd World War, there is for Ralph a 'Registration Card'. This is undated, but was intended for men born on or after February 17, 1897, but before December 31, 1921. It is sometimes, rather colloquially, referred to as the Old Men's Draft. This shows Ralph to be residing in South Bend, Indiana. He was born in Elmira, Ontario, Canada, on August 16th, 1900. He is married to Ruth Feick, and he is employed by Studebaker.
