Wilbur Cletus Wisler
I have an old snapshot photograph of Wilbur C. WISLER which was taken when he was in the United States Naval Reserve in Sewanee, TN. I believe he was in his 20's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Wilbur and his family:

Wilbur Cletus WISLER was b. 25 May 1927 in Richland, IN to parents Norman David WISLER (1909-1956) and Florence Irene MILLER (1908-1974) who were married 27 Aug 1926. Wilbur had two brothers, Robert Eugene WISLER (1931-1986) and Joseph E. WISLER. Wilbur was married three times, first to Lois Jean SPENCE (1928-1979) on 21 Aug 1947 in Cass County, IN and they had three children together; second to Dessie LaVonne HUSTON BILODEAU (1926-1994) on 14 Apr 1980 in Las Vegas, NV; and third to Katie Lee FERRELL DAGGETT (1921-2012) on 4 Nov 1995 in Kokomo, IN.

Wilbur served in the US Navy during World War II and later was a supervisor at the Chrysler Transmission Plant in Kokomo, IN and retired after 32 years there. Wilbur died 23 Apr 2010 in Kokomo, IN and is buried in the Galveston Cemetery in Galveston, IN.
Wilbur’s obituary lists his surviving family including wife Katie, a daughter Karen HOSIER of Kokomo, IN; a son Jeffry or Jeffery L. WISLER of Kokomo, IN; stepdaughters Bonnie BABER, Sandy CHESTER, and Norma RABER all of Kokomo, IN; and a stepson Dan BILADEAU; and a brother Joseph E. WISLER of Black Mountain, NC. Wilbur had a son David Franklin WISLER (1952-1952) as well who predeceased him.

I am hoping to locate someone from Wilbur’s family so that this photograph can be passed onto the family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shelley
