Albert BOOKHOUT - WWI Canadian Expeditionary Forces - Regimental #: 633822 Albert served in the 154th Overseas Battalion as a "Sapper" and saw service in England and France. His original Attestation Papers indicate he joined the forces on March 20, 1916. He was discharged on March 26, 1919. He was a Private. The military records indicate his date of birth as Sept 16, 1877, but the 1901 Finch Twp census shows it as August 16, 1876. Birth location: Berwick, Finch Twp., [Stormont Co., Ont.]

His next-of-kin was listed as Addie Bookhout, his daughter. He was a widower. He did not sign his papers but marked his "X" where his name was written by the admitting officer/magistrate. He was 5' 6" in height with a medium complexion, blue eyes and brown hair.

He drafted a will which listed his deceased wife, Elizabeth Bookhout. The best information is in the list of children, three boys and four girls.

Plus, he states that his father and mother (Harry & Margaret Bookhout) are still living at the time the will is drawn up (Oct. 11, 1916). It also indicates that his father is living at New Laisgard [New Liskeard?], Ont and his mother at Berwick, Ont. The mother, Margaret, is the guardian for the children. It does list one child's birth later in the file -- "WM [reference to William?] Bookhout born 23 April 1903."
