Wis., where she was born on Feb. 12
1S56 and where 'her girlhood days
were spent.
On Oct. 21. 1874 she was united :i

town. Wis. The following spring the;
moved to Williams. Iowa, where the>
resided until 1880. when they came tc

health for a number of years, having
had several attacks of sickness which
came near being fatal. Her last illness
was of some twelve weeks duration,
in which she suffered a great deal yet
she bore it with fortitude and pati
ence.
Mrs. Wilson was always interested i
in the welfare of other people, willing
to sacrifice her own personal pleas
ure in order to be of service to some
one else. In sickneBs and time of need,
she was always one of the first to
offer her service.
Several days before she died she’
realized that she would not get well.j
and called her loved ones to her side
and calmly made the arrangements for
her departure, down to the last de
tail.
She had absolutely no fears of
death. To her the sting had heen re
moved. for she trusted explicitly in
Jesus.
