Biography

Wildred, Sr., was born in 1901. He passed away in 1976.

Received from Jennifer Davis, August 2017: Actually, the name was originally Fellers. It got mixed up when my great-grandfather, Wildred, Sr., served in the military, and he could never manage to get it switched back. He went to “balloon school” during his military career. I found him in his military barracks on the 1920 census (I think it was 1920). They lived at 802 North Street, Little Rock, AR., my grandfather’s entire life. I could never find it in my research on ancestry.com, but on a website for Conway County, AR I found a record of my great-grandfather’s marriage to Rhea Moore. It looks like she probably died in childbirth. They were married for almost exactly nine months.

Wildred, Jr., Jennifer's grandfather was adopted by Wildred, Sr., and his second wife Elizabeth (Unknown)
