Engineer William L. Wilson was 66 years old when he made this trip to Monarch. He was born Jan. 15,1883 in Missouri and died April 26, 1954 in Salida, before the narrow gauge was ripped from the area.. He was a member of the Masons.
Bill Wilson hired at a fireman on 08-09-1908 and promoted to engineer on 03-13-1917. one day before Charles D. Wilson, the engineer on the afternoon Monarch train. I do not know if the Wilsons were related. I could guess but my guesses are usually wrong.
