Some updates on names: Daniel N. is Daniel Nelson.

Adelbert filled out a WWI draft registration - at that time he couldn't write, so his brother Daniel witnessed his mark. Adelbert apparently learned to write by the time WWII came along because on that card he actually signed. When Daniel signed his name as a witness he signed it as Daniel Nelson Joy.

On the WWII Draft Card Adelbert used his middle name of Baker. In WWII he dropped it, when he died no middle name:

Name: Adelbert Joy
State of Issue: Massachusetts
Date of Birth: Tuesday May 17, 1892
Date of Death: March 1970
Est. Age at Death: 77 years, 9 months
Last known residence:
City: AyerDevens
County: Middlesex
State: Massachusetts
ZIP Code: 01432
Latitude: 42.5616
Longitude: -71.5622

His death record recorded at the state level says he died in Gardner on March 16, 1970.

In his WWI military draft he says he was born in Peru, NY but another military draft record for WWII he said Village of either Keesville or Keesmille. It was hard to decipher, at least to me. I suspect that in the first that with the help of his brother he completed the card, or they gave the registrar the information together. In the second he must have provided the info. So checking for birth records probably needs to be checked for both towns.

Daniel Nelson Joy Jr. died 30 Jan 1915 in Harvard Town as far as I know. Here's his marriage record:

Citing this Record
"Massachusetts, Marriages, 1841-1915," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N4D7-KL2 : accessed 10 January 2015), Daniel N Joy in entry for Daniel N Joy and Mary M Sherman, 23 Dec 1911; citing p 346 no 29, Ayer, , Massachusetts, State Archives, Boston; FHL microfilm 2,409,904.

Melvin Eugene Joy was still living after he completed the WWI draft registration on 12 Sept 1918 in Sterling. He married Celia Mary Pelkey on 6 Oct 1906 in Ayer.

Ida M. Joy died Aug 1974 in Jay.

I think that's all the updates I've got. If you can help with anyone's burial locations and deaths that would be great.
