We've been sharing information concerning the children of Rosella Wilson. Now we'll go into the children of Rosella's twin, Rosetta Wilson Carrington who is my great grandmother. The below Irene was my grandmother.

Rosetta's first child was Mildred. Quoting from the Wilson Book, written in 1977 by Bonnie Cavenee Runge, "Mildred was born at Wessington, SD on August 29, 1893. She was the eldest child of Rosetta and Lucius Carrington. She taught rural schools in both Beadle and Hand County (SD) before her marriage to Harry O. Deaver in 1918. To this union were born two children' Doris and Glenn. Harry Deaver passed away in 1924. In 1933, Mildred was married to Charles R. Daugherty and they farmed for many years around Wessington. In 1947, they sold out and moved to Kirkland, Washington to a small acreage where they raised chickens and berries. Mildred also worked in nursing homes for many years as a practical nurse. In 1977, she passed away and was interned at Sunset Hills Memorial Park in Bellevue, Washington.

Mary (Mae) was born April 8, 1895. She grew up in Hand and Beadle Counties. She married John Gould July 5, 1912. They lived in Hand County and then moved to Forsyth, Montana, Montana early in their married life. They lived on a ranch near Forsyth in a two-room log cabin for several years and then moved back to the Wessington Community. To this union six daughters were born; Mildred, Thelma, Hazel, Helen, Gladys, and Marion. Mae was a hard-working mother. She raised those six children in the hard years of the dirty thirties. She had to scimp and save to send them all through school and high school. She died in 1951 at the age of 55, and is buried in the Wessington Cemetery. Her husband John was born in Dayton, Kentucky on August 5, 1890. He moved to Rpid City after his wife's death and worked for about 10 years. He was brought back to Wessington when he became ill with cancer. He died February 20, 1957.

Irene was born October 19, 1897, in Gilbert Township, Hand County. She was married to Fred I. Daugherty in Miller, SD on May 3, 1920. To this union six children were born; Helen, Kenneth, Beulah, Dolores, George, and David. They lived in the Wessington area until 1942 when they moved to Bonilla. Later they moved to Colorado Springs, CO, where Irene worked for 9 years for the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind. Fred became ill with numberous allergies, while living there. He died of pneumonia after major lung surgery in 1955. He was a man of high integrity and was well respected and loved by all who knew him. He was an excellent farmer. Sometime after his death, Irene returned to SD, lived briefly near her daughter Beulah and then moved to Huron, where she now resides at 455 20th St. SE. She remains in good health at the age of almost 80. Note: The book this information is taken from was written in 1977. She has traveled many miles visiting her children and grandchildren. Also, she is active with the Senior Citizens and does volunteer work for the Huron Nursing Home. She visits residents and helps with the Sing-a-longs one day a week. This volunteer organization is a branch of the Red Cross. Irene is also a lifetime member of the Presbyterian Church. Her interests are needlework and cooking.
