Flora married George Maynard on April 16th, 1913 in Plymouth MI
In his memories Stanley Proctor relates that during the winters of 1925/26 &
1926/27 he and his girlfriend, Lucile Latson, went to visit Aunt Flora and
Uncle George. Stanley was going to MAC at that time taking Agriculture Short
Courses. They lived on a farm about six miles from East Lansing, on Grand
River Avenue. "Aunt Flora loved to eat fish, but Uncle George wouldn't eat
them. Occasionally Sunt Flora would invite Lucile and I over for a fish
dinner. We always had a good time with them."

Joseph Matevia married Addie Dell Place, she was the sister of Pearl
Florence Place. Pearl was the mother of Stanley Proctor,
making Joseph his uncle. They had a son, Glenn, (see notes), who was
one year older than Stanley, cousins, and they often played together during
visits with the familes.Joe Matevia was the person that got Harvey Proctor into the Watkins
Liniment business. According to Joe a person could make a lot of money selling
Watkins products, this was probaly true if you spent enough time at it.
However Uncle Joe, who always seemed to have a lot of money and was a big
talker, didn't get his money from selling Watkins products, he had a full time
bar tending job, that no one knew about untill much later. He only sold
Watking products on the side. When Harvey tried to get into selling Watkins
products full time he soon learned that there wasn't much money in it. (Refer
to the detailed Memories by Stanley Proctor for information on this part of the
Proctor family life.)Joe was killed in an accident with a street car in 1915 or 16. Aunt Addie and
their boys lived in Plymouth for several years.

Charles was on the farm with his father and then continued in the
establishment of the Wilson Dairy Co. Even though his father, Ira kept the
purse strings on the operation, Charles became the real driving force behind
the expansion and success of the Creamery. It became one of the biggest
in Detroit during the 1930s into the 1950s, finally bought out by Sealtest.
He became a very wealthy person during this time, however there was not much
contact between him and the rest of the Proctor family. Some of the Proctors
did go to Wilson activities every time they had a chance, and when Pearl
Proctor died, Charles son came to the funeral and everyone thought that it was
very nice that he did, as Charlie was too old to make the trip.obituary: Charles L. Wilson Sr. age 84, a prominent dairyman and former
Automobile Club of MI president, died yesterday, March 9th, 1975 in the
Georgian Bloomfield Nursing Home, Bloomfield, MI.

of directors in 1974, after serving for 29 years. He was Auto Club president
from 1956 to 1957 and was president of the National AAA in 1960-61.
As a dairmany, he was credited with developing the first bulk tank truck to haul

34958. Welthy Eunice Carpenter
Notes for WELTHY EUNICE CARPENTER & WILLIAM HARVEY WILLAMS WILLIAM HARVEY WILLIAMS was known throughout life as "HARVEY." This is something I had always known. WELTHY EUNICE CARPENTER was apparently known as "EUNICE." This was something I didn't know until I saw the newspaper clipping about their divorce. HARVEY and EUNICE were divorced in 1892 in Bradford, McKean County, Pennsylvania.
Notes for ALMEDA L. CARPENTER On the 1900 census for Alma, Jackson County, Wisconsin, ALMEDA is shown as having 4 children with 3 still living.
