Nowhere do the names Cecil & Michael appear together. Therefore, I don't know if he was Cecil Michael Wildey or Michael Cecil Wildey. Most of the time he appeared in records as Cecil. However, in 1942, on his WW2 Draft registration card he was Mike Wildey with birth date of 13 Mar. 1891. In 1917, Cecil Wildey (b. 13 Mar. 1891) had registered for the draft. In Effie May (Wildey) Terry's March 1972 obit in the Columbus, IN newspaper, "the Republic", 2 surviving brothers were named: Russell Wildey & Michael Wildey. Russell died in May 1972... & Cecil died in 1976. In the 1921 Wildey Family Reunion photo, 3 sons of Orlando stand in the rear: Russell, George, & Michael. Michael never appeared in a census of Orlando's family. The only 3 sons of Orlando whose middle names or initials were not known were Lewis, Russell, & Cecil. Russell was ID'd in the 1921 photo. Lewis was a possibility, but he pre-deceased Effie. Therefore, Michael & Cecil must be the same person, since there were no twins.
