      This entry needs further research, as certainly Lowell Wilson was born in 1888, S Norwich Canada; there is no immigration date entered, thus wondering if Lowell ignored that by stating birthplace was Michigan.
      I know soon after his 2nd marriage, Lowell went to Michigan and last address known was Grand Rapids, MI hw
