He attended grade school, and learned reading and writing. With his father he became familiar with the farm, logging sites and the saw mill.  They also enjoyed hunting wild game.

 The Kelly Store, a general store and at one time the post office, was a familiar Nickleville landmark to the Wilson family. After their parents died, sisters Marian & Ruth Kelly continued to run the store for a time.  Marian & Ruth were friends of John & Ella Wilson; had gone to high school with them at Emlenton. Plans were in place for the store to be destroyed in June 2007 when this photo was taken. The store was originally built by the Nickle family, founders of Nickleville.<br style="clear: left"/>
