General Notes: Husband - John Wesley Wilkinson


He lived on the home farm and was accustomed to the practical details of a farmer's life from boyhood, and his education was obtained in the district schools not far distant. When he married, in 1886, he moved to his own farm and very soon began to improve it. He had all of his land under cultivation and raised corn, oats and hay. He engaged largely in dairying and for this purpose kept twenty-two head of cattle. He had the oldest milk route at New Castle, having established it in the early 1890s and for over ten years, every day, he went on his own wagon serving customers. He practically produced all the milk he sold. Mr. Wilkinson was a very hard-working man in his day and until about the age of fifty, did his full share of every kind of farm labor, but thereafter was afflicted with rheumatism to such a degree that his son, with the assistance of a hired man, assumed all the duties.
