Description

In 1908 when he married Nola Hemperley in Jonesboro, Georgia, Wiley Wilson was described as a "prosperous young farmer." The family seemed to do well until the Boll Weevil Recession and a late 1920s "drouth" began an economic decline. In 1929, Nola died, leaving nine children, the youngest not quite three. Wiley managed to hold on to his farm in Henry County, but the family sank into a poverty it shared with others in the Great Depression. Then came the war. There were four Wilson sons, all of whom saw service in the war. Frank (Sorgum) was killed just miles from the German border.Raymond (Horsefly) fought in four battle campaigns in the Pacific. A granddaughter, oldest child of Nola and Wiley's fourth daughter, Zelma (Jule)-who moved with her parents to her grandfather's farm on Pearl Harbor Sunday in 1941-relates her parents' romance and her uncles' war stories, told through their letters and her own historical research. The family's history becomes a social history of the period, with the Depression and New Deal looming large, and World War II looming larger yet.
