In this version of his death record the name is John A Wilson, the Social Security Number is the same but the death year is given as 1901? The 1901 may be an error.
John A Wilson in the California, Death Index, 1940-1997 Name: John A Wilson Social Security #: 110268205 Gender: Male Birth Date: 16 Nov 1901 Death Date: 26 Oct 1973 Death Place: Los Angeles

This is for sure John's son and his wife. It looks like he fought in WW2 also!? I wonder if they by any chance had children?

Yes, this is the Olsen/Wilson/Schlytter family. The childrens mother(Alvhilde) was of german and scottish decent on her mothers side(Wilson) and father side(Schlytter) and therefor was my great grandfather given the last name Schlytter and John the last name Wilson from both of here parents. They stuck to this names there whole life it seems, even though the cencus says Olsen after there father, the parish says Schlytter/Wilson.... :)

Might this be John Alexander in the norwegian 1910 census living in Oslo. Everything fits exept the name Wilson is not mentioned.

You might be able to obtain an obituary for H Forrester Wilson from this News paper. I do think that the online function has obituaries from 2004.

From the online family tree posted, a sister of Lois Jean Minton is Altha B. Minton; seemingly this is a memorial for her on Find-a-Grave here
And possibly this is the niece in Haysville, who can probably be reached through this Haysville Historic District Committee here
This obit is for the spouse of a nephew of Lois, and names surviving family members who are likely findable: here |

Hi,
Thanks for the tip, I've sent them an e-mail, the online obituaries started in 2005 it seems.

Hi,
I've sent an e-mail, but have not reicived any answer I'm sorry. Also I have tried to find Cheryl Ann Wilson online without any luck. It seems to be a quite common name.... Any other clues on how to get a hold of here?

It's a bit peculiar that the newspaper didn't find the obituary since the index listing complete with publication date, page and column are provided.
Public library would be another source for more current obituaries. Prescott Public Library has a web page with an ask a librarian feature: http://www.prescottlibrary.info/contact-us/
You could try contacting the funeral home. It doesn't appear that the funeral home has "archival" records but they may be able to assist you in person by phone or email or such: http://ruffnerwakelin.com/ |

A public family tree on Ancestry.com (called the "williams" tree) includes John A Wilson (no parents listed) and Lois Jean Minton (parents are listed) and son Harry Forrester Wilson 1927-2004 and a child marked Private. So perhaps this tree creator is related to Harry's daughter. Only subscribers to Ancestry.com can write to the tree creator using the Ancestry message system. In the USA, Ancestry.com offers a free 14-day membership on a trial basis....
To start tracking the Simpson side - Deger/Immen/Greene/Lasky Family Tree on Ancestry.com lists Emmet Blain Simpson; his son Emmett would be first cousin to Harry Wilson.
1940 US Census New York, Queens, New York John A Wilson 39 Martha E Wilson 39 born about 1901 New York Harry J Wilson 12 Estell Simpson 80 widowed mother-in-law
An obituary here for Estelle Simpson March 1945, Brooklyn Daily Eagle (also available on the Old Fulton historic newspapers website): http://bklyn.newspapers.com/newspage/54527348/
1920 US Census Brooklyn Assembly District 5, Kings, New York Estelle Simpson 57 born about 1863 Pennsylvania, widow Joseph Simpson 22 born about 1898 New York Martha Simpson 19 born about 1901 New York

1930 US Census Queens, Queens, New York Address: East Dunton Avenue Emmett B Simpson 43, b NY, contractor - building construction Cornelia Simpson 35 b 1895 New York, wife Emmett Simpson 12 b 1918 New York
Also in 1930 New York Military Academy Cornwall, Orange, New York ...students about ages 9-12 include Emmett C Simpson age 12
Could be or probably is the same Emmett
1940 New York, Queens, New York Dunton Avenue (no house number) Emmett B Simpson 54 Cornella R Simpson 44 Emett C Simpson 22 Marie Abat 48 cook
Emmett appears on a number of ship passenger lists indexed on Ancestry.com. In a very quick and incomplete look, he and his wife seem to be passengers on pleasure cruises in the Caribbean area. Name: Emmett Simpson Arrival Date: 7 Feb 1925 Birth Date: 9 Aug 1886 Age: 38 Gender: Male Port of Arrival: Key West, Florida, USA Ship: CUBA Accompanied by wife Cornelia Simpson, born 30 April 1886
US Social Security Death Index Emmett Simpson Last Residence: 33138 Miami, Miami-Dade, Florida, USA BORN: 9 Aug 1886 Died: Jan 1968 State (Year) SSN issued: New York (Before 1951) |
