On June 15, 1917, Joseph Andrew Buchanan was called to register for the WW1 draft. He declared that he lived in Moorisburg, Tennessee. He had a wife and 4 children, he was a farmer employed by E.A. Galbraith. He was tall, stout, with blue eyes and brown hair.

By the 1930 census Joe had moved his family to Crab Orchard, Kentucky. He was living in a rented house, nine of the children were living at home. Joseph was making a living as a carpenter.

Jan. 15, 1946 was a day of sadness. Joseph Andrew Buchanan had passed away. Kate gathered her family and friend around her as she bid her dearly beloved husband farewell, as he was buried at the Crab Orchard Cemetery.
