WW1 Ancestors

[PvtElzieParker]

Hello everybody. So I recently found out I had a Great Uncle Marcus L. Owensby that served in the 3rd Pioneer Infantry, Co. F, AEF. He died in France in US hospital No. 1 in 1918. 
 

He had two brothers that I know filled out Draft Cards(found on fold3), but I have no idea whether or not they served. Fold3 has no records stating what unit they would have been in. Can anyone help me find out if they served?

 

his brothers names,

William Lee Owensby 1887-1936

James Roland Owensby 1890-1975
