From the autobiography of Orpha Vance Blackmore, youngest half sister to Wilford:
"Little is known of what happened to Wilford. All that we know is that he joined the Services-came home on leave-and was never heard of again. It would seem that if he had been killed in action that his family would have been notified-but to my knowledge-no one has ever heard.
We do know that Orson and Wilford had spent a little time in The Academy of Utah-later known as BYU-but try as hard as he could my father could not persuade them to stay longer-much to his regret-and their's too, I'm sure."
"Rena was the last to see him in Oregon." Emma Emilia Vance Olsen
