4 months and days old. Long had
been her earthly pilgrimage, hut she
reached at last the heavenly Canaan,
and is at rest. Mother Wilson's home
had always been open TO the minis
tiers of the Gospel, many Of HON
had shared her hospitality, and re-
ceived from her many words of en-
words full of heavenly
benedictiOn and blessings, For more
than 20 years she had been a member
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
She was faithful until death. Her
memory is as ''precious ointment
poured forth" God had blessed her
with more than an ordinary cnnsti-
tuition. Many years before Garrett
county was settled up as il is now,
before the B. & o. r. r. was built,
and when there were hut few con-
veniences. mother Wilson, with her
family toiled, endured, and suffered
the hardships of those earlier days
and years. She was also blessed with
strong mind, and cheerful spirit.
While some If her last years were
years of suffering and feebleness. yet
she endured all as only christian
can-"as seeing Him who is invisible
hooking for the recompense of re-
ward" at the end oi the race. 1t was
the privilege of the writer frequently

trusting in the Lord, She was always
open and ready to converse on the
subject Of religion. She would fire.
quently say that the Lord had been
very good to her, and that she was
trusting all in his hands. Those sea-
sons of conversation and prayer with
Mother Wilson, and her daughter
R7chel, (who through number o
years 81 faithfully ANA carefully had
watched oyer her noIher) we're pre-
ebrus seasons. The memory G these
SEASONS of religious devotion will
finger with us while life shall last.
They ware always blessing and
source If spiritual strength to me.
May the Lord hInss and save All the
Surviving children and relatives.
