Edd Wilson is my grand father. I had the good fortune to live in the same house with him the last 5 years of his life. I have many good memories of him.
I was born on his birthday in 1946. We were both in St. Joseph Hospital. He was very ill. My mother took me by his room on the way home to make sure he saw me. I don't know how long it was, but he did come home.
He was a farmer and he farmed until the end. He had cows, one my grand mother milked everyday a big gray Jersey named Tiny. He also had a team of mules, Jim and George. He let me fed Jim corn from my hand, but George would bit.
He also had an old bull dog, Bunkie, that was half blind and almost deaf that went everywhere with him. The barn was full of cats to keep the mice out of the corn crib.
I spent many hours with him, he was always doing something outside. In the afternoons I would sit with him in the back yard before going in for supper.
He and my grand mother, Lillian Cheshier Wilson had 4 children. A son Marvin, two daughters, Alma and Velma and one son that lived only 17 hours.
The family moved to Memphis in 1922. He worked for the street car company in Memphis.
