CORNELIA C. WILSON
Death of an Old Much Esteemed Resident of This City
Mrs. Cornelia C. Wilson, in her 85th year, widow of George F. Wilson, after an illness of two weeks from bronchial pneumonia, died at her home, 110 W. Thomas street, at 9:30 a.m. today. She had been in failing health the past two years.
Mrs. Wilson was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Jefferson, and was born in Floyd on May 15, 1818. Her parents were long residents of that town and are well remembered by the older people there, and were held in high esteem. Miss Jefferson lived there until her marriage to George F. Wilson, which took place on Jan, 21, 1844, when the newly married couple removed to Verona, where the groom was for many years a prosperous farmer. In 1866, they came to Rome, where Mr. Wilson died 11 years ago last January.
The surviving near relatives are one son, John H, Wilson and two daughters, Mrs. Sarah J. Cagwin and Miss Helen A. Wilson, all residing in this city, and one brother, DeWitt Clinton Jefferson of Lacrosse, Wis.
Mrs. Wilson was of cheerful disposition and her many excellent qualities won for her a host of friends. Her nature was essentially domestic and her home and children were her chief delight. She was a kind neighbor and her memory will be cherished by all who knew her. She was a member of the First M. E. Church.
