Person:Wilton Pulver (1)

Wilton Pulver worked in the Kasota stone quarry as an equipment repairman, and had a small farm on the outskirts of the town. Their house was originally in town, but was moved up the hill to a small farm located across the road from the cemetery on the bluff East of town. Their son Richard remembered the day the house was moved. His mother handed cookies out the window of the house to children as it was being moved. Wilton and Margaret along with their daughter Celia are buried in the cemetery across the road. Their son Richard's ashes are also buried there. Both of my grandparents had died before I was born. I have always regretted not knowing them. I always felt that my father had been very close to his parents, when he spoke of them it was in a loving way, and usually brought tears to his eyes. Their financial means were limited but they instilled in their children a quest for knowledge. Two children Nora and my father received a college education, and it was Celia who pursed the search of our ancestors back to the Burke's and Parmenter's.
