General Notes: Husband - Alexander Wilson


He grew to manhood in Pittsburgh, there obtaining his education, and soon after starting in business life became the proprietor of a large produce business, which he managed skillfully and well, prospering in a marked degree. He was also the owner of a grain elevator, buying and shipping great quantities of grain, and becoming one of the most influential men in the lines in which he engaged in the city. Pressure of affairs and the requirements of temporal matters neither blinded him to his spiritual and religious duties nor caused him to neglect them. The Presbyterian Church had no more devoted servant than he, none gave more liberally of his means nor more unselfishly of his services. In the church organization he was an elder, while for a long time he was superintendent of the Sabbath School, discharging his double duties in a faithful, steadfast manner that was a source of inspiration to his co-workers in the church, and which lent strength to its endeavors.
