Minnie Pearl Wilson

Minnie Pearl Wilson was my great-grandmother.  I have many fond memories of visiting with her during my youth.  

This is my favorite photo of Grandma Wilson (Minnie Pearl Hatfield Wilson).  It was taken about 1911 on the Rooker Ranch near Red Rock, New Mexico.  Grandpa Wilson (Charles B Wilson) worked on the ranch.  I really like the colorized version of this photo.

Grandma Wilson would take her 22 rifle out to hunt for a rabbit or squirrel so she would have meat to cook dinner for her family.

I think its cool how she would hunt for her own food. Kinda reminds me of the tv show Alone.-CJM
