Wilson - Margaret Evans
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 15 February 1895
Milan, Ill., Feb. 12—Mrs. Margaret Wilson, wife of the late Jacob Mills Wilson, departed this life Sunday, Feb. 3. If she had lived until the 14th she would have been 80 years old. The deceased’s maiden name was Margaret Evans. She was born in Kentucky but with her parents came to Montgomery County, Indiana, when quite young and resided there until her marriage with J. M. Wilson. They soon after moved to Illinois which place has been their home till death called them, Mr. Wilson dying about three years ago.
Three stepsons are left to mourn her loss: Enoch T. and Frank W., of this place, and V. C. of Garnett, Kansas.
Mrs. Wilson was ill but a short time and her death was unexpected. She has many relatives and friends in Montgomery County and it is for their benefit that I send this item. - thanks so much "S" for all your work on the site - you rock, girly !
