Grover Wilson

This is a picture of Dad's birth certificate.  Grover Carroll Wilson: 

These are pictures of Dad, Grover Carroll Wilson when he was in the service.  His nickname was Lucky.  I have some service stories I will try to list so keep checking.  

This is Grover Wilson.  I know he went to Hawaii and this is probably that ship.  His nickname was Lucky.  I wonder if this was part of his "Lucky" story; going to Hawaii.  

Grover on the right

Grover Squatting.

Grover.  He enlisted when he was 17 into the Marines.  I think looks like a kid dressing up like he was in the service.  He served 4 years.  He went to Hawaii for R&R and I have a lot of those pictures I haven't scanned yet.  

This picture was taken in Hawaii.  

This is just a little write up of the Wilson geneology:

Son of Norman and Anna Belle Simms Wilson

(Real father was Floyd Wiggins who owned a liquor store in Lebonon,  or Joplin. Mo.) His dad’s name might have been Warren).  Grover said he met him once.  Eugene introduced him to Grover when he came home from the service.  He said, “this is your granddad”.  Grover said, “I got a granddad.”  Meaning Norman Wilson.  That was the one and only time Grover met his biological granddad.

Myrtle and Eugene were married Mar 17, 1927 in Sedalia, Mo and had 2 children:

Grover Wilson

Barbara Jean Birch- She was married to George (Buster) Murray.  She divorced Buster when he was running around.  Remarried a guy named Birch.  She was his 4^th wife and she thought she was his 2^nd.  So, she divorced him and took Buster back and she took care of him till he died.  He left her everything. 

 

Apparently. Myrtle and Gene didn’t have much of a marriage.  Carol Wilson says she never remembers them being happy.  Mom said Grandma had affairs.  She was going to run off with Dad’s Great? Uncles son.  It was Logan Wilson’s son who was supposedly having the affair.  Norm was Grover’s grandpa but not biological.  Mom was riding with Sam Wilson and his wife in the early “90’s.  They said they were going to run off together.
