  Notes	Registered for the draft on June 5, 1917, in Eureka, Dakota County, Minnesota, as Julius Arthur Forstrom. He gave his permanent address as Farmington and described himself as a self-employed farmer living in Eureka Twp. He stated that he had a wife and child and claimed exemption from the draft on grounds of his “physical disability and support of family.” Although his year of birth is shown as 1891 on the draft card, his age is shown as 26 which would be consistent with the 1890 birth year shown by other sources. Julius was described as of medium height and build with grey eyes and dark hair. No physical disabilities were noted. In the 1920 census, an Arthur J. Forstrom is farming in Eureka Township, not far from John and Helga Thompson. Arthur is 29 and his wife Ida is 24. Both were born in Minnesota and both sets of parents were born in Norway. They have no children. In the 1930 census (indexed as Fosatrom), Arthur and Luella live in the village of Lakeville where Arthur is a clerk in a grocery store and Luella is a butter wrapper in a creamery. They have been married for 17 years and have no children. Living with them are Arthur’s mother Betsy E., 76, his niece Beulah Forstrom, 17, and a 25 year-old lodger named Ole Ruh. He was Art Forstrom of Lakeville at the time that his brother Ed died.
