A Wilson Family Tree

Notes for Nyman Adair Wilson

The death notice for his father (during World War II) lists him as Nyman A. Wilson of San Diego, U.S. Navy. He is also listed in the U.S. World War II Navy Muster Rolls on Ancestry.com. His gravestone (which can be seen in Find A Grave, listing for Nyman Adair Wilson) says he was a sergeant in the U.S. Army and he served in World War II and Korea, so it looks like he served in the navy in WWII and in the army in Korea.

His WWII draft card from Ancestry.com (U.S. WWII Draft Cards Young Men 1940-1947) is dated 16 Oct 1940. At that time he was living in Trona, Riverside Co., CA, and working at the Harry Wilson Service Station. [Was his dad running a gas station at the time?] He was 6 ft. 3 in. tall, weighed 168 lbs., had light complexion, blue eyes, and blonde hair.
