Text scavenged from the article as it existed when nominated VfD:
"Wilson Rawls was born in Scraper, Oklahoma in September 24, 1913, to Minzy O. and Winnie Hatfield Rawls. Being half Cherokee Indian, Winnie Rawls was allowed a piece of land to keep, which became the source of the Rawls family's income. Wilson, during his early years, helped in the rural farm of Scraper, without any education. Meanwhile, his mother taught him to read and write. Later when schools were built, he went two or three months every summer. Finally though, when his family moved to Tahlequah, he attended school on a regualar basis. Unfortunately this didn't last and because of the Great Depression, Wilson couldn't even complete eighth grade. They moved"
