Father Method Wilson was born in Oconee, Illinois, on April 19, 1924, the
son of Claude Wilson and Mary Worland. He was the second from the last of six
siblings including Joe (died March 21, 1984), Charles P., Margaret (died Feb
19, 1935), and Rosemary Meyer.
He feels that his ordination was his most rememberable experience and was most
gratified to serve as chaplain of the Poor Clares in Kokomo, Indiana, for
many years. He is an avid golfer.
