I've "rescued" an old photograph of Myron L. WILSON which was taken at the
J. P. Calvert Studio in Mooresville, Indiana. The photograph appears to
have been taken in the 1880's or 890's with Myron in his teens at the time
the photograph was taken. In addition to his name, someone has written
"Father of Beatrice MEIER" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited
research I was able to locate the following information regarding Myron and
his family:
Myron Leroy WILSON was b. 22 Feb 1877 in Morgan Co. IN to parents John Allen
WILSON (b. 28 Aug 1843 in Morgan Co. IN) and Mary M. WILLIAMS (b. 1849 or
1850 in Morgan Co. IN). The couple had 7 children including, Otis Edwin;
Alice M.; Myrtle; Myron Leroy; Chauncy R.; Bessie; and Isa E. WILSON all
born between 1867 and 1892 in Morgan Co. IN. Myron married Eunice WOODEN on
1 Aug 1903 in Morgan Co. IN and together they had a daughter Beatrice WILSON
b. about 1907 in Morgan Co. IN.
