His regiment was the Eighth Minnesota. With it he was ordered to squelch the Indian outbreak at Lake Schetack, and he also went thru the horrors of the massacre at New Ulm.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson have two daughters, Mrs. Flora E. Moore of Minneapolis and Mrs. Belle Royce of Farmington, Minn., and two sons, George Everett Wilson and Howard W. Wilson, who both live in Minneapolis. They have fifteen grandchildren.
