Introduction

Norman's parents were farmers at Wannon in Victoria. His Grandfather, George Healy Riley was one of the first settlers in the Wannon district. George died in 1873 and is buried in the old Cavendish Cemetery. Norman had at least 6 brothers and a sister. One brother, Leslie Addison, was killed in action in France in1916 aged 19. Another brother, Arthur Frederick, was gassed and wounded in WW1 but survived. He was awarded the Military Medal for gallantry. He married (wife unknown), moved to Hamilton where he died in 1927. George Healy Wilson, Normans eldest brother was killed in a farming accident in 1895 aged 18 years. Norman's mother, Elizabeth Martha died 19th August 1898 aged 40 years. She and George are buried in the same grave site in the Old Cavendish cemetery. Harold Riley Wilson, my grandfather, married Mary Margaret Pettitt, moved to Apsley and became manager of Benayo Station. Norman's father remained in Wannon till at least 1934, but cannot discover anything about his life after he collected his dead son's effects after WW1. There was another brother Ernest, married to Hilda. They lived in Melbourne near Norman. I can remember visiting a sister in Melbourne, but cannot recall her name.

I only met Uncle Norman on three occasions, once when he stayed with our family in Adelaide, once on a visit to meet his brother, Harold, in Bordertown, SA ,and later, during a visit to Norman's home in Melbourne. I found him to be a very jovial, likeable fellow.
