Notes for Bruce Nix
A typo in some indexes have him listed as "Brude Nix" instead of "Bruce Nix". So please keep this in mind when searching for his
draft registration record. This correction and some additional information about this family was provided by his nephew Erskine Nix.
Bruce was the brother of several other Nix men on the WW1 Draft Registration list: Clyde, Reave, and Ulem Nix. They came from a family of seven boys and four girls; all were born in Bexar, AL, just West of Hamilton.
Of the brothers who were of age to register for the draft, only Clyde served in the war to the best of his nephew's knowledge.

"I was nearly seven years old when she died. I recall her as a rather tall woman who enjoyed a toddy every afternoon, and smoked a pipe while she drank it, apparently drinking and smoking didn't harm her as she lived to be over 100.".. a quote from her great-grandson Erskine Nix.
