FLOYD CHARLES WILSON
 
Floyd Charles Wilson, son of Frank and Olive DeVault Wilson, was born on the family farm southwest of Earlham, Iowa on July 24, 1924. He attended country school for eight years and graduated from Earlham High School in 1942, never missing a day of school in twelve years. 

Floyd established a trucking business and hauled livestock, grain and general freight for many years. In May of 1962, Floyd married Margaret Walker. They lived in Indianola, Iowa and Floyd worked in the maintenance department at Simpson College until his retirement. Floyd and Margaret enjoyed square dancing, traveling and spending winters in Arizona until her death.
 
Floyd later married Margaret Dalton and they lived in Colorado. After her death, he moved to Apache Junction, Arizona where he was an active member of the Desert Bible Chapel. He was an excellent wood carver and was a member of the Des Moines Woodcarvers. He especially enjoyed joining them each year at the Iowa State Fair.
 
When his health began to fail, Floyd moved back to Earlham, Iowa to live with his sister Helen and niece Bonnie. He passed away at Kavanagh House on 56th St. in Des Moines, Iowa on August 28, 2011. 

Floyd was preceded in death by his wives Margaret Walker and Margaret Dalton and sister and brother-in-law, Martha and Wayne Koboldt. He is survived by his sister Helen Ludwick, nieces, Bonnie Wetrich, Betty Easley and Nancy Basart, his nephew Bruce Koboldt and wife Mary, all of Earlham, Iowa, and many great nieces and nephews.
