He graduated from Mountain Park High School in 1942. Throughout his school years he worked at his father's shop in Snyder where he learned to rewind motors. He entered the army July 30, 1945 and was awarded the World War II Victory Ribbon. He was discharged Dec. 18, 1945 at Barksdale Field, Louisiana. Wesley married Emily J. Martin of Roosevelt on August 31, 1946 in the Baptist pastor's home in Cache. He began working at Ft. Sill rewinding motors and continued working in civil service until his retirement after 30 years. Even though he was never employed again he continued working on motors, clocks, pianos, organs, woodworking, and carpentry, furniture refinishing, and farming. He enjoyed playing the violin and continued to play with other men at the H. C. King Center until entering the VA Center in Sept 2013.
