Notes for Arthur Carrolton Wilson:
Arthur was not fond of his name, so was frequently referred to as "Jack."
Jack and a friend bought a hardware store in Prichard, Alabama, during World War II. They couldn't get anything to sell, so they sold air conditioning filters instead.
Jack was living in Mrs. Gonzales's boarding house when he met Virginia. He was travelling two weeks at a time. The residents would dance every night to the Victrola, and Jack would dance with Virginia when he was home.
