General Notes: Husband - James L. Wilson

---

He was educated at West Minster College, New Wilmington, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, learned the painter's trade in Sharon, Mercer County, and after working at the same for about a year in Butler, repaired to Reynoldsville, Jefferson County, in March, 1874, where he died of dyspepsia, after a short illness, on August 6, same year. At noon on Thursday, the day of his death, his parents received a telegram announcing that he was dangerously ill, and immediately started to see him, but were intercepted at Pulaski depot by another telegram, informing them that he was dead, and that his body was on its way home.
At the age of sixteen he had united with the Neshannock Presbyterian Church, and had maintained an exemplary Christian character, and left behind the assurance that "all was well." He possessed an unusually kind and affectionate nature.
