Alfred Wilson DOB 7/9/1881 DOD 3/31/1950 is buried in Caldonia Presyterian Church Cem.
I did try to find a marriage record in Knox Co for Ruby and Lorenzo Andresen(Anderson) up through 1926 and was
unable to do so.I only know that they went to live in Cincinnati and she along with her 2 boys were physically abused (family info) and she was committed and then later died at a nursing home fire.
No one able to shed info on nursing home fire in/around Cincinnati due to inability to narrow down the years when it
happened. I believe it may have been around the early to mid 1970s.
