Died, at her home on Youngs
Creek, Feb. the 18th 1899, Sister
Mary Ellen Wilson. Sister Wilson
had been in delicate health for some
two or three years with peculiar
nervousness accompanied by indi-
gestion, which in some measure baf-
fed theskil of the physicians. She
was taken to her bed some two
weeks before her death and was sit.
ting up an hour or so before she died,
then she complained of feeling worse
and went to bed, being suddenly at
tackled with nervous convulsions, in
which she suffered the agonies of
death her soul taking its fight to
the spirit land.
Sister Wilson's maiden name was
Asbury. She was born in Audrain
county, Aug the 18th, 1859, and
was left motherless at the age of 3
years and was taken to Madison,
county, KY, and reared to woman.
hood by her grandmother. She was
married to VIM. Wilson, April 4th,
1877, and came back to Audrain
county, Mo-, Immediately after
wards.
There were three children born to
them, two of which were twins.
The tender susceptibilities of her
heart was manifested in her embrac-
ing Christianity at the early age of
IL years and it is only expressing it
mildly to say she lived an earnest,
devoted, conscientious Christian
life. She was kind, affectionate,
sympathetic. She ever met you
with a pleasant greeting and a kind
word of encouragement at all times
and under all circumstances. Al
though she is dead her influence for
good on those left behind will ever
live. She leaves a host of friends
and relatives to mourn her loss, who
will ever retain in their memories
tender recollection of her. x.
