Aimuwell Willis, (youngest son)

1837 - 1937  (100 years)

• Name	Aimuwell Willis
  Suffix	(youngest son)
  Birth	1 May 1837	Spring Hill, Vermilion Parish, Louisiana
  Gender	Male
  Death	9 Sep 1937
  Notes	Referred to himself as youngest son. His (Joseph Sr) youngest son Aimuewell said before his own death in 1937 [sic?] "the secret of his father's success was personal work." He said that as a boy he saw his father go to a man in the field, hold his hand and then witness to him until he surrendered to Christ. Today, many generations later, his influence can still be seen. One grandchild said he would be reading the Bible and talking to them. A few of them would slip away and he would say "children you can slip away from me, but not from God." http://files.usgwarchives.net/la/evangeline/bios/willis.txt
