On Sep 12 1918 Arnold Raymond Stout, age 18, registered for the World War I draft in Galesburg, Knox County, Illinois.  He declared he was born November 1st 1899, and was then residing in Hermon, Knox County, Illinois, a farm hand employed by B. G. Shroat [unclear] of Hermon.  He declared his nearest relative was R. P. Stout of Orinda [unclear], Knox County, Illinois.  He was recorded as medium height, slender build, blue eyes, brown hair.9

Stout Arnold (Pearl), wks Citizens Artificial Ice Co, r 422 E Berrien

Pearl and Arnold might have divorced or separated, or perhaps Pearl died before 1930.21  Both of her children were adopted-out.8  

There is also the speculative possibility that Arnold Raymond Stout might have either been previously married to an Esther Edith Ritchie, or perhaps was married to an Esther Edith Ritchie at the same time he was married to Ruby Pearl Henshaw.21  A son, Raymond Arnold Stout, was born to Arnold Raymond Stout and Esther Ritchie on Dec 29 1920, Galesburg, Knox County, Illinois; he died Jul 8 1937, Henderson, Knox County, Illinois (age 16).13,22  However Raymond Arnold Stout might have actually been a son of Ruby Pearl Henshaw; if Arnold Raymond Stout later remarried, making Esther Ritchie actually Raymond's *step-mother*, then his death certificate might have erroneously shown Esther as his mother instead of Ruby Pearl Henshaw.21
