Henry and Helma raised their family on the farm southwest of Hazel Run. Mr. Wilson passed on the ninth of June, 1941. In 1947, Mrs. Wilson left the farm and moved to Granite Falls where she lived until 1957 when she moved to Phoenix, Arizona. There she was living at the time of her death on November 12, 1964.
