MRS. R. LINCOLN WILSON
Monmouth, Ill.

On February 10 this beloved wife and mother was released, from years of suffering, to receive her crown of glory.

In early life she had graduated from the Illinois Training School for Nurses in Chicago and gave 10 years to that noble profession.

For 39 years she was the splendid help meet[sic] of the Rev. R. L. Wilson. For 12 of those years she patiently bore with her infirmity.

She trained her family of three sons and a daughter for the service of her Lord. R. Alvin is a Presbyterian missionary in Kodoli, India. John M. is pastor of the Presbyterian church in St. James, Minn. Lincoln, Jr., is teaching in the high school at Stonington, Ill. All three sons are graduates of Monmouth college. Catherine, nearing completion of the college course, became the home companion, and is using her commercial schooling in a good clerical position in Monmouth where the home was established last July, at 511 East Third Avenue.
