Notes |
- Ben was one of six children. He was a school teacher and taught for about eight years. He decided that he liked farming better than teaching and moved back to the 'Old Wilson Farm' which had been in the Wilson family for over 100 years. He and his wife Maphrie Riddle Wilson lived there until his death in 1981, just two months prior to their 50th wedding anniversary. This information taken from an article by Roy Hensley, Sept. 8, 1988, 'Yancey Journal' newspaper.
