Lester Voorhees
     Lester Voorhees, son of Richard V. Voorhees and Martha Backer, was born on 27 January 1907 at Gladstone, Somerset, New Jersey.1

     The U.S. officially entered World War II on 8 December 1941 following an attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Just about a year before that, in October 1940, President Roosevelt had signed into law the first peacetime selective service draft in U.S. history, due to rising world conflicts. After the U.S. entered WWII a new selective service act required that all men between ages 18 and 65 register for the draft. Between November 1940 and October 1946, over 10 million American men were registered. The Fourth Registration, often referred to as the "old man's registration", was conducted on 27 April 1942 and registered men who born on or between 28 April 1877 and 16 February 1897 - men who were between 45 and 64 years old - and who were not already in the military. Lester filled out a draft card for World War II on 16 October 1940 (at age 33), while living at Gladstone, Somerset, New Jersey. He was working for John H. Roebling, at Bernardville, Somerset, New Jersey.2

     Lester died on 29 November 1983, at Morristown Memorial Hospital, New Jersey, at age 76,1 and was buried at Peapack Union Cemetery, Gladstone, Somerset, New Jersey.1

     Lester appeared on the 1910 Federal Census in Bedminster, Somerset, New Jersey in the household of his parents, Richard and Martha.3

     Lester appeared on the 1920 Federal Census, enumerated 3 January 1920, the household of his parents, Richard and Martha of Peapack and Gladstone, Somerset, New Jersey.4
