A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Leonie Eileen Wilson
Birth place name is uncertain, but Chewelah is closest I have found to two versions of the birth place (Chwheela from her Social Security application, Shohuilla from a death notice in the Riverside Press-Enterprise). In addition, a birth record for her in "Washington Births 1907-1919" on Ancestry.com shows her birth in Stevens County, and Chewelah is in Stevens County.
From the Riverside Press-Enterprise, 14 Oct 1998 (obtained from their archive web site):
Homeland
Leonie Trickey
Graveside services for Leonie Eileen Trickey, 82, will be at 12:30 p.m. Friday at Olivewood Cemetery in Riverside. She died of heart and lung failure Friday at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster.
Mrs. Trickey who was born in Shohuilla Wash., lived in Homeland 70 years. She was a homemaker.
Survivors include a daughter, Patricia Faia of Homeland; four sons, Lloyd of Antelope Valley, Nyman Wilson of Hemet and Harry and Clarence Wilson, both of Riverside; five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and a great-great grandchild.
Some of that article is messed up. Nyman, Harry, and Clarence were her brothers, not her sons. I have no idea if the numbers of grandchildren, etc., are right. Also, it says that she lived in Homeland for 70 years, which would be back to 1928, but I know from letters that she was not living in Homeland in 1937, 1940, and 1941.
