General Notes: Husband - Samuel Wilson


He began his academical education at Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pennsylvania; graduated at Jefferson College, Pennsylvania, September, 1828; studied theology at Princeton Theological Seminary; was licensed by the Presbytery of Huntingdon, at Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, April 5, 1831; preached the following Sabbath at Alexandria, in the same county, and was there ordained and installed pastor, continuing to preach until illness from bronchitis compelled him to cease, June, 1837. At the urgent request of prominent men in Uniontown, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, the same year, he started a female seminary and also a boys' school, which he conducted until April 1, 1840, when called to the pastorate of Dunlap's Creek and McClellandtown Churches. The labor being too great for him, in May, 1869, he removed to El Paso, Illinois, where he served the church until October 1, 1872, when, November 7, 1872, he removed to Bloomington, and served the church of Normal for three years. He preached as an evangelist, living at Streator, Illinois, for four years; then removed to Fairfield, Iowa, September 23, 1881, where he then resided.
He received from Jefferson College the degree of Doctor of Divinity.
