Clarification

It reads as if she charged rent on the brothel after her death... until her death. Eh? -74.128.250.57 (talk) 13:19, 21 May 2009 (UTC)Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).[reply]

I was going to say the same thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 56.0.143.24 (talk) 18:29, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is the first I have seen all this information on a website.

My grandfather spoke kindly of Ms Wilson in his last few years on this earth. He stated she was a strong-willed woman who call the shots in her house and did infact take people under her protection while they worked for her. My grandfather lived in her brothel until he was 12 years old and was given $125.00 by Byron Reed's attorney upon her death. Wilson and Reed by my grandfathers account were business friends and personal friends for many years.

Wilson amassed her fortune in speculation of real estate with her business partner Byron Reed.

Strange how the past is buried at Prospect Hill.

And stranger yet is how it is said Anna Wilson had no heirs when my grandfather stated he was her grandson. -74.128.250.57 (talk) 13:19, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
