AGED
60 YRS. 11 MOS. 5 DAS.
As for me I shall behold thy face in righteousness I shall be satistied when I awake with they likeness
Interesting observations:
If the birth date and death date on the stone are correct, the age is wrong and should be 81 years and 35 days.
In the Federal 1870 census taken in June, Wilson was listed as 49 years of age. That would make his year of birth 1821, as listed on the stone.
In the Federal 1880 census taken in June, Wilson was listed as 58 years of age. That would make his year of birth 1822.
In the Federal 1900 census taken in June, Wilson was listed as 81 years of age, and his birth date was listed as January, 1919.
In the family Bible, Wilson's date of birth is listed as April 21, 1821.
