Kenneth Sutherland Wilson was born 15 January 1907 to Elmer Bert Wilson and Annetta Sutherland. Someone who knew him said, "Kenneth Wilson was a tall, slight, good looking man."

He served in WWII as a Chief Machinists Mate (CMM) in the US Naval Reserves. As far as we know, he never married. He worked as an equipment operator for Conklin Trenching Service in Arizona. He died 2 Mar 1969 in Wilcox, Arizona.

A humorous story involving uncle Kenny's horse and buggy was recalled by a relative. Apparently Kenny used to come over to their house on Sunday after church, leaving his buggy at their house and departing on his horse.

While the family was taking a Sunday nap after dinner, the older kids ages 10, 9, and 7, decided to hook up a "loco horse" to Kenny Wilson's buggy and go for a ride. "Grandpa Hunter heard the commotion of the horse and scared kids" and ran the horse down to stop it. "The only thing that kept them in the buggy was that the 3 of them were squeezed so tightly into the small seat."
