J. Clarke, Publisher CLOYD J. WILSON is identified with financial interests of Cassia county as cashier of the Declo State Bank of Declo, which position he has occupied since April, 1918, and of which institution he is also one of the directors. His birth occurred at Commerce, Iowa, on the 2d of September, 1891, his parents being Jesse M. and Jennie (Doty) Wilson. The period of his boyhood and youth was passed in the state of his nativity and in the acquirement of his education he attended the schools of Portsmouth, Iowa, and also spent a year as a student in a commercial college at Council Bluffs. After putting aside his textbooks he secured a position as messenger boy in the First National Bank of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and later became teller and bookkeeper there. In January, 1913, he went to Afton, Wyoming, where he acted as assistant cashier of the Afton State Bank until 1915, when he removed to Salt Lake City, Utah, and became assistant auditor of the farm loan and mortgage firm of Miller & Viele. In 1917 he returned to Afton, Wyoming, but the following year came to Idaho, locating at Burley, where he accepted the position of paying and receiving teller of the Bank of Commerce. In April, 1918, he was made cashier of the Declo State Bank at Declo and has since ably served in that capacity. The bank was organized in November, 1917, and the continued growth of the institution is attributable in no small measure to the efforts and enterprise of its popular and efficient cashier. Into other fields Mr. Wilson has also extended his activity, being now president of the Declo Printing Company. He likewise operates a farm of eighty acres near Declo and is widely recognized as a prosperous and representative citizen of Cassia county. In 1915 Mr. Wilson was united in marriage to Miss Myrtle Roos, a native of Utah and a daughter of Carl and Emma (Merritt) Roos. They have become parents of two children, Virginia and William. Mr. Wilson gives his political allegiance to the republican party, while fraternally he is identified with the Masons. His career is most commendable and the success which he has already attained augurs well for the future. Additional Comments: Extracted from: IDAHO DELUXE SUPPLEMENT CHICAGO THE S. J.
