Ina Mae Wilson
Ina Mae Wilson was born February 19, 1932, at Oakley, Kansas, to George and Florence (Hapes) Andersen. As a youngster she grew up on a farm near Benkelman, Nebraska, attending country school. Then, as a teenager, Ina Mae boarded and worked at the Benkelman Hospital while attending Benkelman High School graduating in 1949.
Ina Mae married Jack V. Wilson on September 15, 1949, at the Zion Lutheran Church of Benkelman, where the couple first settled.

the couple moved to Imperial, Nebraska, where Jack became the superintendent.
Ina Mae and Jack have made Imperial their home until present.
