Biographical history
John (Jack) Allan Wilson (1906 – 1983) was born in Virden, Manitoba. He moved to Salmon Arm in 1912, with his parents George and Alice Wilson, becoming one of the area’s pioneer residents. Wilson was educated in Salmon Arm and attended school in South Canoe.
On October 06, 1939, John married Tappen resident Marguerite (Peggy) Annala (1913-2002). Together, they had two children: John Allan and Robert George.
Wilson first worked as a banker, but then became a teacher and taught school in Kelowna, Princeton, and Salmon Arm from 1940-1958. Wilson also taught elementary school in the Salmon Arm area, including the schools Lee Creek, Tappen Valley, and Carlin.
As an active community member, Wilson enjoyed a variety of activities including photography and also sat on the board for the Salmon Arm Museum. He was a history buff and chronicled the history of the area in unpublished works. Wilson was an amateur archaeologist, collector and rockhound and had a keen interest in First Nations cultures. He was also involved in running the Adams River Sockeye Run programme, worked for the Co-op movement and was a former director of the Credit Union.
