Essie is my grandmother by adoption. Her maiden name was Riddle. She worked in the restaurant business most of her life. Her and her first husband, Bill Wilson ran the old Saddlerock Cafe in Dustin Oklahoma for a good many years. Bill and Essie had four sons together, the oldest was Orvil, followed by Loyd, Woodrow, and Alvae. Essie later ran the Dixie Coffee Shop in Weleetka and another Cafe in Holdenville Oklahoma but I can't remember the name of it.
At some point in time, Bill and Essie divorced. Bill went to Huntsville Texas in 19?? and we are pretty sure that he is buried there. Orvil Fred Wilson died in Tulsa County Oklahoma in April of 1979 and is buried in Dustin Cemetery in Hughes County Oklahoma. Loyd Ouff Wilson died in Muskogee County Oklahoma on August 15th of 1989 and is buried near his mother Essie's grave in Hillcrest Cemetery in Weleetka. Alvae Eugene Wilson lived his last years in Irving Texas - Dallas County and he died on November 25th 1995. We lost contact with Woodrow and don't know what happened to him. If you knew any of these folks or have any information about them, please notify me.
