Following is a story by Vera Parks Wills:
I was the seventh child of Leroy and Margaret (Smith) Parks. Born in Payne Co., OK on 20 Feb 1919. One year later the family moved to Vernon Co., MO. My first year of school was at Science Hill, a one room school, there in MO. I couldn't talk plain and in counting I would leave out 13. The teacher would say, "What comes after 12?" I would say "fifteen" and the whole school would laugh. Later in the first year, the family moved to Walker, MO. I finished first and second grade there.
I helped with work in the fields on the family farm. I was nicknamed "Sweet Pea". I was little, but mighty! I had to stretch to be 5 feet tall.
I started working out when I was 19 years old, earning $2.50 a week. The pay increased to $1.00, then $3.00 a day, over the years. When I was 24 years old, I joined the WAAC for eight months. When my tour was over I lived in Lorain, Ohio with my sister, Lottie Krause. Lottie's husband, Erwin, was in the Navy serving overseas. We two sisters worked in a steel company. I operate two machines in the coupling shop, that made two inch couplings. The men that also did this, were upset as the ladies could make more than the men, as they were paid extra for more pieces.
When the war was over, I returned to Kansas. My job was as a waitress in a restaurant in Garnett, KS. There I met Cleo Edward "Eddy" Wills and his cousin, Olive Bishop, in Jan 1946. Our first date was in February, and we were engaged in March and married in April. I was 27 at the time. Some of Eddy's friends asked him why he was "robbing the cradle", as they thought I was 18!
Our only child, Glen Edward, was born nine years later, when I was 36. Just before Glen was two, Eddy passed away with Hopkin's Disease. I sold Stanley Home products for 25 years, living in Garnett at 210 Elm Street. I then begin serving in nursing homes as a housekeeper. I progressed to Nurse's Aide, then to Certified Medical Aide.
I love to put jigsaw puzzles together. I have an art in quilt making. My hobby is collecting stamps and dolls. I am a member of the First Baptist Church in Garnett, but was a member of the Nazarene Church for a number of years. Parents: Clent STURDAVENT and Vera MONTGOMERY. Parents: Odis WILLS and Maude.
