Volume III Illustrated. The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago – Louisville, 1928. Bell Co. Camie Wilson, a young man of energy, determination and keen intelligence, has made substantial progress as an educator, and his achievements as superintendent of the schools of Bell county, have won for him much favorable notice. He was born September 4, 1888, in Kettle Island, Bell county, Kentucky, and is a son of Joseph and Margaret (Ward) Wilson. He was reared in his native county and attended the Pineville high school. He completed his studies in Cumberland College at Williamsburg, Kentucky, and from 1908 until 1921 was engaged in teaching in Bell county. Meanwhile he had become connected with the United States internal revenue service and during the 1913-14 was storekeeper and gauger. In 1919 he received a permanent appointment in the office of the secretary of the treasury at Washington, D. C., but declined the position. In January, 1921, Mr. Wilson became superintendent of the Bell county schools, being chosen for four and a half years, and on May 7, 1926, was reelected for a term of four years. He has done much to improve the curriculum and methods of instruction and is making a highly creditable record in the office. Mr. Wilson was married February 19, 1914, to Miss Nannine Kinningham, who was a native of Walker, Knox county, Kentucky and died December 21, 1925. She was the mother of three children: Ford, who was born July 25, 1915; Vernon, whose birth occurred November 22, 1918; and Jeannette, born November 5, 1922. Mr. Wilson is identified with the Knights of Pythias, and his political allegiance is given to the republican party. He keeps in close touch with the most advanced ideas in regard to the control and management of public schools and is endowed with every quality essential to success in this useful vocation.
