Individual Details

Frederick Joseph LAPLANT

(19 Apr 1885 - 9 May 1950)

Fred never married, and never seemed to be employed. All his life, he lived with parents or siblings. He probably was disabled in some way: physically, mentally, or both. His World War I draft registration cards give some clue: In response to the question about whether the person had any obvious physical disqualifications, it was reported that his height was stunted. The WWII draft registration card (back side) confirms this. His height was 3'11", and his weight was 72 pounds.
