THE DALLAS POST, DEC. 28, 1971
“‘outdoors
are synonymous, for
active as he might be in other
areas the out-of-doors is his first
love.
It would not seem natural to
‘place this great sportsman in
any setting but the great out-
doors, for he has spent the
greater part of his life working
‘or relaxing under the open sky
either in the forest or fields.
Ted Wilson, who resides with
his wife, the former Jule Biro of
Plymouth, in a two-story gray
_ house with yellow trim along
the lower road in East Dallas,
raised in
‘Demunds. His first home was a
farmhouse on the property near
Lake Catalpa where his son,
Tex, and family now reside. It
was the family homestead of his
‘mother, the late Adeline
Durland Wilson, and the home
where Ted and his brothers and
3d
ih
sisters were born (there were
17). The original home is long
gone and his son and family live
‘in an attractive white two-story
home about 200 feet from the
“Wilson sawmill.
When first married, Ted and
Jule lived first in Kingston and
then in Wilkes-Barre for a
‘period of about three years
~ while he worked in the mines in
order to earn sufficient funds to
‘build a small home on the
property where he now lives—a
“home in which his children were"
born and which still stands
across the driveway from his
“home where he has resided for
35 years. However, total years
at his present location add up to
45. :
~ For many years, Ted Wilson
had a large picnic grove behind
“his home where he and his
family -and friends enjoyed
‘many outdoor gatherings.
He ‘built his sawmill and
~ began timbering in 1936 and
“continued in that business until
his retirement in 1970. His son,
Tex, was associated with him in
the business and today conducts
the business as his father did
before him.
The home where Mr. Wilson
lives is built of lumber cut,
© cured and surfaced in his own
mill. Some of the furniture as
well is constructed of Wilson
“timber. The Targe stone
“fireplace in the livingroom is
constructed from various types
of stone found locally and was
built by Cecil and Bill Wilson. It
was the last job completed by
‘Cecil before he enlisted in the
service and later lost his life in
the Bataan March.
As might be expected of one
who enjoys the outdoors, Ted
Wilson is a hunting enthusiast
and has hunted both small game
and large since a boy. In 47
“years he killed 46 deer, all
‘bucks, and traveled to the far
‘regions of northern Canada
‘where he was successful in
bagging the coveted moose. He
also went on elk hunting trips to
Jackson's Hole, Wyoming. In
‘the past two years or so,
however, he has not hunted as
. did in previous years, .leaving it
to the younger generation—his
son and grandsons.
As enthusiastic as he is about
~ hunting, so he is about fishing.
- He fishes in both local and
‘ Canadian waters and has been
“successful in landing some
“wallopers.”’
Ted Wilson is an ardent
football and baseball fan and is
especially well versed in
baseball since for many years
he played with teams in the
Wyoming County League, Rural
League, and Independent teams
throughout this section of the
country.
He and his wife are ex-
perienced travelers having
made several trips from the
east to the west coast and from
the north to the south borders of
the United States. He has made
numerous trips to Europe and in
1968, 1969, and 1970, visited
France, England, Germany,
Denmark and Sweden. He has
many interesting stories to tell
of the places he visited and one
could spend hours in his com-
pany listening to his many
experiences both in Europe and
in this country.
He found Denmark to be his
favorite country and was deeply
impressed by the friendliness of
the people as well as the ‘‘clean,
fresh’” country. He was in-
trigued by the hydrofoil boats
the natives use to travel from
Denmark to Sweden. Another
item of interest to him were the
deep underground subways in
London where the residents
lived during World War II
bombings.
- Listening to his descriptions,
one can almost see the beautiful
Versailles gardens appear
before one’s eyes as well as the
home and gardens of Marie
Antoinette. He told the Post that
this was the ‘most beautiful
sight ever seen’” and recom-
mends it to all who plan to tour
Europe.
He also visited the harbor at
Hamburg where the Germans
use cranes that can easily lift
the largest ships out of the
water. There were millions of
tons of ships sunk in those
waters during the war but the
harbor is so deep that nothing
ever touches them.
For the past number of years,
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson have spent
part of every winter in Florida.
He recently purchased a large
camper and with some of their
grandsons, the Wilsons travel to
Watkins Glen where they live in
their mobile home and join the
ranks of spectators at the an-
nual races.
He believes God and Nature
walk together and is an active
member of the East Dallas
Methodist Church where he is a
trustee and member of the
official board. He also taught a
Sunday School class of
teenagers for many years and
was lay leader of the church for
more than five years.
He joined the George M.
Dallas Lodge in 1946 and has
played a major role in all ac-
tivities, having served as
worshipful master in 1956. He is
presently a trustee and also a
member of Caldwell Consistory
and Irem Temple.
He has two children, Tex and
Marilyn Wilson Morris, and
seven grandchildren, five boys
and two girls of whom he is
extemely proud. Although a
busy man, and like many
woodsmen blustery and
honestly frank, his love for his
children and grandchildren is
very evident and is reflected in
all phases of his conversation.
As might be expected of a
man who loves the out-of-doors,
he is fond of animals and is
seldom seen without one of the
family’s pets seated beside him
in his Jeep as he travels the
road between his home and the
mill. His grandson’s dog,
Blackie, recently deceased,
traveled everywhere with him,
arrived every morning at his
home ready to go to work with
Ted.
In recent years, he has taken
great pleasure in Lake TeJe=a
three and one-half acre lake
made by him and his son on the
latter’s property on Lake
Catalpa Road. The lake with its

surrounding fields and woods
and two cabins is a source of
recreation and relaxation for
him and all members of his
family. He has made pets of the
fish found in the lake waters and
visits them daily to feed them.
During the summer months the
Wilsons can be found at Lake
TeJa from early morning until
late evening where they enjoy’
the solitude and cool, fresh -air.
Ted Wilson loves people and is
well known throughout the
entire area. He participates in
all activities where he will have
opportunities to make new

friends. There are many
residents in the Back Mountain
area who can attest to the
friendship of Ted Wilson when it
was most needed, for in this
respect he is a quiet man—he
goes about doing good for others
without the ‘‘others’’ being
aware of the help he has given.
As a boy, Ted Wilson loved the
out-of-doors and good sport-
smanship and today, as a man,
he is teaching this love of the
out-of-doors and good sport-
smanship to his grandchildren.
He says, “To be with Nature is
to be with God.”
