H. F. Wilson
I've "rescued" an old photograph of H. F. WILSON which was taken at the Grinnan's Art Gallery Studio in Cynthiana, KY sometime in the 1860's. The little boy in the photograph appears to be about 5 years old at the time it was taken. I believe that this is a photograph of Henry F. WILSON and based on limited research I have been able to gather the following information regarding Henry and his family:
Henry F. WILSON was b. 11 Dec 1858 to parents Charles T. WILSON (1834-1896) and Sallie WILLIAMS (1838-1887). Henry had one brother, George Williams WILSON (1860-1944). Henry married Anne “Annie” Morgan CURL (1864-1946) and Henry died in 1945 and is buried in the Battle Grove Cemetery in Cynthiana, KY.
Census records provide the following details:
