Notes for Ottis Wilson
The Kentucky death index lists Ott Wilson, age 80, died 6 July 1983 in Rowan Co., residence same.
His gravestone is inscribed with the birthdate Oct 11, 1902, but he was listed in the censuses as 5 in 1910, 12 in 1920, and 22 in 1930, so it was probably really later than that. (A birthdate in Oct 1902 would have meant that he was 17 in Jan 1920, and it is hard to imagine a 17 year old being described as 12.)

I am not entering a middle initial of B, because it may just stand for her maiden name. Her gravestone is inscribed Arazona Black Wilson, May 5, 1909 - June 24, 1989.
