We are called upon again to record the death of another friend and neighbor. Mrs. Jane Wilson, whose maiden name was Van Norman, was born in the state of Illinois, Feb. 5, 1832; died at her home near Frankville May 13, 1901; aged 69 years, 3 months, 8 days; came to Iowa in 1861; united in marriage with Mr. Henry Wilson Dec. 31, 1862. No children were born to this union but during their married life they adopted a daughter and in later years a son. The daughter, Mrs. Etta {?}naway, and the son, Ernest Wilson, with the husband are left to mourn for her. She joined the M. E. church with her husband in August, 1895, of which she was a member in good standing at her death. Her sickness was severe and death came suddenly but found her ready. She was a devoted wife and mother. Her neighbors commend her for her kindness. The cause of her death way{sic} congestion of the brain, with complication of other diseases. The funeral will be held at the M. E. church Wednesday, May 15, Rev. Burgess officiating.
