Military Service 1 OCT 1918 New York City, Manhattan (New York County), New York, USA [7]

WWI
On 01 October, 1918, less than three weeks after he registered for the draft, Louis entered Company C, Student Army Training Center (SATC) at NYU. He was paid $30/ month while he participated in the established curriculum. Although the details of his specific area of concentration are not known, a Marshall S. Brown document in the NYU archives indicated the draftees were provided 42 hours/week of essential and allied subjects while also performing military drill for 11 hours/week. Essential courses included military law, hygiene and sanitation, surveying, map making, modern ordinance, and a war-issues course. At the end of their studies [between one and three terms, depending on age] the students were assigned to officer or non-commissioned officer training programs, a depot brigade, or permitted further study in engineering, medicine or law. That first term of SATC officer training had been underway for less than 6 weeks when the Armistice was signed in Paris. Deliberations about the status of the SATC continued until 26 November when a telephone call from the AGO (Adjutant Generals Office) stipulated that the program would be deactivated on 19 December. Thus on the specified date, Louis and countless other privates were issued their final pay. Louis received $42.60 in cash which included his November pay of $30, a pro-rated December pay of $19 and a quartermaster deduction of $6.40 which may have been for an item of equipment, clothing or perhaps text books. Following active military service of almost 12 weeks, Louis was a WWI veteran and once again a civilian.

Released from service 19 Dec 1918
Although his military records and those of 16-18 million other servicemen were lost in a 1973 fire at the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis, the Veteranâ€™s Administration was able to reconstruct records for his military service by using auxiliary records â€“ records kept in other locations for related purposes. Louisâ€™s records were reconstructed from records found in the papers of Dean Marshall S. Brown at the New York University.

Carr, William Seward: 1880 marriage to Elizabeth E Donnelly
William Seward Carr and Miss Elizabeth E. Donnelly, both 25 years of age, were married on 20 October, 1880 at 4 P.M. in what appears to read the Donnelly residence in Paterson (Broadway), NJ. Although, family records reflect the location as 431 Broadway which maps to the modern location of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. William was employed as a mechanic when they were married. The parents were listed as Adam Carr & Sarah E Tier and Arthur M. Donnelly & Amelia M. Drury. Of the four parents, only Sarah was born in the US. The others were born in Scotland, Ireland or England. The witnesses appear to read S.F. Watson and Amelia Donnelly. The name of the minister is not entirely legible but it appears he was from Paterson, NJ. Elizabeth's middle initial may have been in error - her middle name was Amanda.

	Carr, Louis Drury: 1918 WWI Draft Louis Drury Carr registered for the WWI draft as a 19-year on the same day two of his brothers also registered. He listed his occupation as a clerk with American Railway Express on Allison Street, Paterson. His residence was with his father William S. Carr at 370 van Houten St, Paterson, Passaic, NJ. There were three drafts during WWI: 1) 5 June 1917 for all men aged 21 to 31 2) 5 June 1918 for men who reached age 21 since the previous draft 2a) supplemental for all men who reached age 21 since June 5th. 3) 12 September 1918 for all men 18 to 21 and 31 to 45.

	Carr, Louis Drury: 1918 ASTC-P6 Louis enlisted in the NYU Army Student Training Corps (ASTC) on 01 October 1918 and was honorably discharged on December 19. Many WWI records were destroyed in the 12 July 1973 fire at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. In the following years the veteran's records would be reconstituted using auxiliary records - Louis's records were reconstituted using the NYU payroll records. He is one of 16 privates on the linked payroll. He was recorded receiving #42.60 in pay for the period to include $6.40 for a Quartermaster allotment - possibly for the return of unused books, equpment or clothing. The story of the shortlived SATC is worth researching - its duration was not much longer than the period of Louis's enlistment.
	Carr, Louis Drury: 1918 ASTC-P1 This is the cover page of the Army Student Training Corps payroll packet used to reconstruct Louis Carr's WWI military service. The NYU SATC unit eventually enrolled 1,288 men at the University Heights campus. The New York University Archives provided this discription of the SATC: "Inducted as privates in the regular army and subject to military discipline, the student-soldiers lived in barracks, ate at mess and were accorded a monthly allowance of $30, in addition to having their tuition paid. They were to receive a total of 42 hours of "essential" and "allied" subjects while also performing military drill for 11 hours per week. Essential courses included "military law and practice," "hygiene and sanitation," "surveying and map making," "modern ordinance," and the "war issues" course. At the end of their studies [between one and three terms, depending on age] the students were assigned to officer or non-commissioned officer training programs, a depot brigade, or permitted further study in engineering, medicine, or law. The Armistice interrupted the work of the SATC shortly after it began. After some debate over whether or not it should be continued, the SATC was demobilized on December 19, 1918. Within six months, the work of demobilization and fulfilling contracts between the government and the schools was completed."
	Carr, Louis Drury: 2012 Service Records Request Grandson Regis requested copies of his grandfather's service records. Louis' records were reconstructed from secondary sources since the original files were destroyed along with millions of other WWI service records in the 1973 fire in St. Louis.

	Carr, Louis D: 1929 Carr Again Lauds Councilmen Kievit Candidate Democratic Candidate for Freeholder Praises Republican City Official. Louis D. Carr, of Albion Place, Democratic candidate for free holder, lauded Councilman Crine Kievit, unopposed Republican candidate for councilman in the Fifth ward, at a regular meeting of the City of Clifton Democratic club last night in Thorburn’s hall. Councilman Kievit was classed by Mr. Carr as a progressive worker who would assist the successful Democratic candidates, and the two present Democratic councilmen, in giving the city a good administration. Mr. Carr, once before, praised Councilman Kievit in a letter issued to the press. He had commended him for his stand during the note renewal crisis with the Clifton Trust company, when Councilman Kievit had arranged with a New York bank to loan money to pay the notes which the trust company had first refused to renew. The Second Ward Democratic club censured him for this attitude.

	Carr, Louis D: 1935 Sheriff's Sale - Fieri facias Mortgaged property (presumably a vacant lot) belonging to Louis, his wife Mary and his cousin, Ella, was advertised as being placed for public sale on 10 May 1935 in the sheriff's office in the Paterson city court house. The value of the property was noted as approximate $150.
	Carr, Louis D: 1944 Ration Board Louis Carr, Ration Board Head, Resigns Louis D. Carr, principal of School 23, Romaine Av., and chairman of the Jersey City War Price and Rationing Board, at St. Peter’s College, since January, has tendered his resignation to Richard J. Tarrant, district director, effective June 1. Although pointing out his resignation was not brought about by ill health, Carr added, the action has been taken on the advise of his physician who found to “continue as principal and as chairman is too great a strain for any one man.” Carr, who has been principal of the Romain Avenue school three years, previously served 1n the same capacity for five years at School 9. A native of Clifton, he came to Jersey City from North Arlington, where he was supervising principal. On Jan. 13, 1944, he succeeded M. Lester Lynch, who became U. S. commissioner for Hudson and Bergen counties. Carr’s letter to Tarrant follows: “The district office is, I know, fully aware of the responsibilities of the chairmanship of a war price and rationing board. You realize the attendant physical and mental strain. Our monthly reports, show that I have been averaging 35 hours weekly to hard work. This, in addition to the time required by my school work makes each day a long one. “While there is no question of ill health involved, my doctor advises me that to continue as principal and as chairman is too great a strain for any one man. It is, therefore, with great regret that I resign as chairman of the Jersey City War Price and Rationing Board effective June 1. 1944. “My work has been pleasant, and this is due in no small part to the whole-hearted and friendly cooperation I have received from the district office, from the local staff, from our volunteers, and from the mayor and commissioners of Jersey City. I am most grateful to all of them.” RJCarr, 2 Jan 2021: There is a backstory to the above newspaper article. Louis D. Carr's son, William Dill Carr, relayed to me years before this artifact was located, that his father was pressured to leave the position as the chairman of the Jersey City rationing board. Ostensibly, the pressure stemmed from attempts by persons in the political wings (the Democrat Party, the truth be told) of Jersey City to have Louis allocate rations to persons not otherwise authorized to have them. It is likely that the doctor who advised "that to continue as principal and as chairman is too great a strain for any one man," was a family member. Louis, with "no question of ill health" likely felt he had little choice but to resign. To my knowledge, Louis never again operated within the political circles of Jersey City. He was too honest.

Histories

Carr, Louis Drury: 2012 Educator and Grand Knight
Initially this biography, based simply upon memories, was a single page long and thus proved to be a great disappointment to say the least - surely more could be learned with a modicum of effort! After researching his WWI service - which proved to be an education in itself - many other details fell into place. As with the other histories on this website - all veterans - I am indebted to family members for their contributions - the errors are all mine and will be corrected when brought to my attention.
