• Notes

  His own signature on his World War I Draft Registration Card clearly reads, "Elix Alda Silvers". His name is also stated as "Elix Alda Silvers" on his United States, Social Security Numerical Identification Files. Other documents where the spelling of his first name are spelled, "Alex", "Alec", ect., are apparent erroneous misspellings made by the people who were recording his name based upon their own interpretation of it.
