General Notes: Husband - William H. Wilson

---

After completing his general studies he completed his education by a course in Duff's Commercial College, and after leaving that institution was for a time employed as a bookkeeper, serving the Union National Bank, of Pittsburgh, in that capacity. In 1871 he was one of the organizers of the West End Savings and Trust Bank, commonly known as the West End Bank, and was connected with that institution until his death His official position was that of cashier and he was also acting president. His relation with this bank was productive of the highest good for that institution, for towards placing it in the most lofty plane in banking circles and acquiring for it a reputation for soundness, permanence and conservativeness he gave the best of his services. Those who are acquainted with the history of the bank unhesitatingly place at his door praises for the part he played in its sure, firm, founding, and credit for its present strong condition. Like his father, Mr. Wilson was prominent and active in the work of the Presbyterian Church, being an organizer, charter member, and trustee, of the Hawthorn Avenue Church of that denomination at Idlewood. Politically he was a Republican. In 1886 he bought and remodeled a house at No. 19 North Emily avenue, Crafton, Pennsylvania, and there his widow continued to reside after his decease.
