General Notes: Husband - James D. Wilson

---

He remained at home until 1847, in which year he was united in marriage. In April following they moved to a farm which was purchased by his father in 1838. The farm, containing 120 acres, was deeded to Mr. Wilson by his father some time after his marriage. He, at different times, purchased land adjoining, until the farm contained about 180 acres. Mr. Wilson followed farming all of his life except four years, when he was engaged in milling. He owned about 180 acres of good land, situated near Olivet Village, South Bend township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. He was a director of the Apollo Savings Bank, and held that position for many years.

He remained at home until his marriage, and the next month, in April, 1847, moved to South Bend township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, settling on a tract of 120 acres near the village of Olivet, which his father had purchased in 1838. This land his father deeded to him some time later. Mr. Wilson followed farming practically all his life, and became owner of more than 200 acres. He was one of the original stockholders and directors of the Apollo Savings Bank, now the Apollo Trust Company, and served as director until his death. He was the last survivor of the original members of the United Presbyterian Church at Olivet. [HIC 1913, 618]
