General Notes: Husband - Walter Winfield Wilson

---

He received his primary education in the public schools, afterward attending the Clarion State Normal, Kiskiminetas Springs, and then entering Princeton University, whence he graduated in 1897 with the degree of Bachelor of Science. One year later he entered the Law Department of the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1901, and shortly after was admitted to the bar in Phila­delphia and to the state supreme court. Feel­ing that his talents and inclinations fitted him for a business rather than a professional career, Mr. Wilson, instead of entering upon the practice of law, returned in 1901 to Clar­ion and there engaged actively in the lumber business, also in the production of oil and gas. He was the owner of extensive timber inter­ests, and was for a long time associated with the Clarion Water Company, serving for some years as its president. As a pub­lic-spirited citizen Mr. Wilson never withheld his aid and co-operation from any project hav­ing for its end the betterment of Clarion. Po­litically he was a Republican, but never con­sented to hold any office. While at Princeton he was a member of the University Cottage Club, and in his senior year captain of the 'Varsity Baseball Team, serving also as vice-president of his class upon graduation. He always took an active part in class politics, in athletics and in all student affairs. While at the University of Pennsylvania he belonged to the Sigma Chi fraternity, and the Sharswood Law Club, a very exclusive organization. He also belonged to the Pittsburgh Club of Pitts­burgh, and the Princeton Club of Philadelphia, and was one of the vice-presidents of the Prince­ton Alumni Association of Western Pennsyl­vania. He and his wife were members of the Baptist church.
