• Notes

  Willerson attended schools in Fairview, Lake Victor, and Lampasas, Texas. He graduated from Lampasas High School where he was a star basketball player and the high school sweetheart of Lorena. Shortly after they were married, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving in the European theater as a military policeman in World War II. When Willerson returned from the war, they bought a farm and ranch at Naruna. After a few years they realized it had not been profitable, and he decided to seek work elsewhere. He served many years as a highway patrolman. He was a member of the Texas Department of Public Safety and was assigned to President Lyndon B. Johnson. After the president's death, he continued in the service with the protection of Mrs. Johnson. He retired in 1985. After he retired, they moved back to Naruna. They enjoyed traveling and working in the First Baptist Church in Lampasas.
