DIED-

Marium Hansen Wilson-
At her home near Maquoketa, Saturday, October 4, 1884, at 1:30 a.m., of inflammation of the stomach, Mrs. Marium Wilson, wife of A. H. Wilson, at the age of 54 years, 4 months and 8 days.

Deceased was born in Essex County, New York, and came to Iowa in an early day. She, in company with her mother Mrs. Hansen and Alva Fairbrother, traveled all the way here from the Empire State by wagon. Soon after their arrival, Mrs. Hansen died, and it left the daughter, a mere child, to keep house. December 23td 1849, she was married to A. H. Wilson, and they settled on their now beautiful farm, two miles southwest of Maquoketa, where they have resided until death separated them. A loving son, and daughter, now living, were the fruits of the marriage. Mrs. Wilson was a lady of large acquaintance and had many friends who feel that she was taken away too soon. She was a most estimable lady, a kind mother and dutiful wife.

Rev. Millikin preached the funeral service at their home Sunday afternoon and the remains were interred in Mount Hope Cemetery.
