General Notes: Husband - Samuel Edward Wilson

---

He was reared to the age of seventeen on a farm, and his education was limited to the country schools of that day. On leaving home he spent one year in the oil fields of Pennsylvania, and a similar period at Pittsburgh in a wholesale grocery. He then assisted his father in the store at East Brady, Clarion County, until 1873, when he took a position as traveling salesman for a wholesale house in Pittsburgh. After two years in this employment he went to St. Petersburg, Pennsylvania, an "oil town," and remained until 1879, his next employment being at New Castle, Pennsylvania, as clerk in the "Leslie House," where he spent one year. From 1880 to 1885 he was engaged in the wholesale liquor trade at New Castle, but he then transferred his business to Punxsutawney. He became connected with various enterprises, and he was a leading promoter and organizer of the Punxsutawney Street Railway Co., and the Jefferson Light, Heat and Power Co.
He was identified with several fraternal orders: the Elks, the F. and A. M., the K. T., the Mystic Shrine, and the Americus Club of Pittsburgh.
Politically, he was a Republican, although he was never an office seeker. In 1896 he was an alternate delegate to the St. Louis Convention, and he was also a member of the Electoral College from the Twenty-first District of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Wilson was the owner of the "Malvern" stock farm of 150 acres, located twenty-one miles from Philadelphia, in Chester County, where he was engaged in raising thoroughbred trotting horses. He was the owner of "Acolyte," the horse that "Coxey" rode into Washington.
