Notes |
- John was a stone-cutter by trade; but on account of his health engaged in agricultural pursuits. In the fall of 1842, he removed with his family to Iowa, in company with his brothers-in-law, Lemuel and Rev. Aaron Case Humphrey, and settled in Johnson County, where he became a large and successful farmer and nurseryman. In the fall of 1868, he and his wife removed to their present home (1883) in Iowa City, Iowa.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson have always and everywhere been known as earnest and active friends of temperance, education, and every interest of the best Christian civilization. They have been for many years worthy members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the power and influence of which communion in the State of Iowa owes not a little to their fidelity and devotion. The completion of the year 1883 will bring them to the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage, with their entire family of eight children arrived at maturity, and honoring by their character, culture, and influence, their parents' exalted example and standards of worth; --the use of either spirituous drinks or tobacco being unknown in the family, and all being in the membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church. --Frederick Humphreys.
