Wilson Book - Mildred's Children

I've already shared the pictures of Mildred Carrington Deaver's children, Doris and Glenn a couple of posts ago. I wish I had more. In fact I wish I had more family pictures altogether. They must exist...forgotten or ignored. Or maybe the owners don't realize how few family pictures some of us have and how important the sharing of them is.

Doris Lorraine Deaver Baily was born on March 31, 1920 in rural Hand County (SD). She grew up and was educated in Wessington schools. Then she graduated from St. Mary's School of Nursing with an R.N. degree. She served in the U.S. Army Nurse Corp World War II, 1942-46 -- 56th Evacuation Hospital for 2 1/2 years, Italy and North Africa. Decorations received --4 service starts, good conduct and European theatre medal. She worked at many phases of nursing such as general duty, industrial, doctor's offices, and mental health with a career span of more than 40 years. She married James Baily and resides at Granite Falls, Washington. They have no children.

Glen Carrington (Buddy)Deaver was born June 14, 1923 in rural Hand County. He attended rural Hand County schools, and was graduated from Wessington High School in 1941. He worked in the shipyards in Seattle at the onset of World War II, and joined the U.S. Army, serving in the Marshall Islands and several other locations in that theatre of war. After the war, he became associated with Ford Motor Company, and has continued his career with this firm in Seattle and Anchorage areas. He was united in marriage to Beverley Stanley of Seattle, and to this union four children were born; Michael, Forrest, Roger, and Laurie.

There must be some way of getting in contact with the children of Buddy. Perhaps I should just Google their names and see what happens.
