General Notes: Husband - Edward M. Wilson

---

He attended the public school in Clarion and graduated with honor from the Clarion State Normal. Being ambitious he took a course at the Iron City Business College, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Finishing the full course he returned to Clarion and was made superintendent of the large lumber interests of his father, T. S. Wilson. Later he entered into partnership in the lumber business with his uncle, S. W. Wilson. For twenty-five years they were close and successful associates. In connection with his lumber interests he also operated an oil and gas business along the Clarion river.
His fellow citizens reposed in him implicit trust in every walk of life. He was elected president of the First National Bank of Clarion, but with exceeding delicacy of feeling, he declined the honor in favor of his uncle and accepted the vice-presidency, which office he held until the day of his death. He was a prominent fraternal man in its best sense. He was a member of the Clarion Ma­sonic Lodge, No. 277, in which he took an active part and filled all of the offices; mem­ber of Aden Chapter, No. 252, and also filled all the offices at different times. He was a trustee of the Free and Accepted Masons for the Masonic building, and in that body was re­garded as of great business acumen. He was a member of the Presbyterian church.
