In honor of Veteran’s Day, we remember and appreciate Emmett’s nephew, Cephas Love Wilson Jr.

Emmett’s siblings apparently did not serve in the U.S. military, but his nephew, Cephas Love Wilson Jr. did.
In fact, it was Cephas Jr.’s military service that eventually paved the way to a successful career in art and photography. (Cephas Sr. wanted his son to follow his footsteps into law, but it didn’t work out.)
Ceph Jr.was an ART EDITOR for this book — and — yes, his drawings are in here! Booyah!
I wrote about Cephas Jr. in earlier posts; you read more about his remarkable and interesting life here, and here.
In the meantime, if any of Cephas Jr.’s descendants would contact me, I’d love to share additional information and artifacts with them.
