Nancy's age also varies a good deal: in the 1860 census she is listed as age 45; in the 1870

1788.

Notes for Max Earp Wike:
When Max registered for the draft on 16 October 1940 in Statesville, North
Carolina, he gave his address as Box 242, Taylorsville, North Carolina. He gave
Cecil Clementine Wike as his contact person. Her address was 504 West End
Avenue, Statesville, North Carolina. Max was unemployed and used as the reason
not to serve "crippled feet". He was club footed in both feet and was not able to
walk so he had to be carried around by members of the family. Even after surgery
at the age of three, he always had a limp. His father bought him a pony when he
was 13 and he would not let anyone except himself ride it. He is described on his
registration card as 6 feet 1 inch, 140 pounds with blue eyes and blond hair. There
is a photo of him in Ruth Wike's book "Raise the Window Down" and he is a
beautiful child under three. He is almost girlish looking he is so beautiful. His draft
card scanned on ancestry.com had "deceased" in red written across his application.
