General Notes: Husband - William T. Wilson


He was of Scotch-Irish extraction and was educated in the public schools of Kiskiminetas township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. He was a farmer all his life and by energy and perseverance accumulated a handsome property. He enlisted in the State Militia in September, 1862, and again in July, 1863, but was not in active service.
In politics, he was a republican until about 1875, when he became a prohibitionist, and a strong advocate of temperance. He was a member of Olivet United Presbyterian church, in which he was a trustee for eighteen years, chorister for twenty years and Sunday-school teacher for about thirty years.
