My paternal grandfather, Samuel Hugh Wilson (1855-1903), who passed away when my Dad was only 18 months old. He married my paternal grandmother in June 1898 in Newburgh NY, within a year after he and his first wife were divorced in Brooklyn. He worked for the U. E. Hungerford Brass and Copper Company in Manhattan for many years, and his first father-in-law was John S. Folk, the Police Superintendent of Brooklyn who died in 1885.
