Mrs Andrew Wilson
The news of the death of Mrs Andrew Wilson, sen., of Appleton, will be learned with deep regret by many. Mrs Wilson had not enjoyed the most robust health for some time, and of late her condition was the cause of a good deal of anxiety to her friends. As the days passed it became evident that serious inroads were being made upon her vitality. Quietly and patiently she bore her illness until death brought her release on Wednesday last. The deceased was a daughter of the late James Bryson, and was born on board the ship on which her parents came to Canada in 1821. They settled on the 11th line of Ramsay, on the farm now owned by Mr John Neilson, where as Margaret Bryson, she lived until her marriage to Mr Wilson in 1843. Her home since then has been at Appleton –until a few years ago on the farm owned by Mr Wilson adjoining the village, and of late years in the village. Of a family of four children two are still living – James, on the farm, and Mary, who has been her mother's constant attendant during her declining years. Mrs Baird, of Almonte, is a sister of deceased, and the only surviving member of the family. Mrs Wilson was quiet and unassuming in her manner, but her uniformly kind disposition won for her many friends. She was a member of the Presbyterian church for many years, and her every day life was in full accord with the profession she made. The family and friends have the sympathy of the whole community in their bereavement. The funeral take place today (Friday) to the eighth line cemetery, Ramsay.
