Here is a photo Kathy Holloway LaValley sent me of James Carney Bodine and his sisters Mattie and Mabel from Joplin, Missouri. This is used with permission and she has the original photo in case someone needs it. Dixie Mariah Carney is the sister of her great-grandfather Robert Forrest Carney.
From Ronny Bodine:
Grover 'Red' Wilson registered for the World War I draft on 5 June 1917 in Joplin, Jasper County, stating he worked as a railroad brakeman. The El Paso "Herald Post" of 1 March 1937 reported that 'Red' Wilson, in 25 years of managing and playing baseball, had spent part of three years with the St. Louis Browns but didn't stay because "I wasn't a good enough hitter to play in the "majors." It was with, the Browns that, he got his opportunity to bat against Johnson, one of the greatest pitchers in baseball." Mr. Wilson spent 15 years of his baseball career managing clubs. His teams have won four league championships and have been beaten four times in championship playoffs. The newspaper noted that Mr. Wilson his wife and daughter, Dixie came to El Paso four years ago [1933] and that he operates the Washington Park skating rink. His death was reported in the El Paso "Herald Post" of 4 May 1943. It stated that his body was shipped back to Joplin, Missouri. Grover Wilson was buried in Fairview Cemetery, Joplin. The Jan 1944 obituary of Mable Wilson's brother Edward Bodine stated she was living in El Paso, Texas at the time. The "Herald Post" of 24 Oct 1950 further noted that Mrs. Mable Wilson was a sponsor of the Sunshine Rollerettes--El Paso's Own, patterned after the New York Rockettes. As late as 24 Sept 1959, Mrs. Mable Wilson operated the concession at the Washington Park Skating Rink in El Paso. Mable Wilson was buried in Restlawn Memorial Park, El Paso, El Paso County, Texas.
