MRS. Jennie E. WILSON

Mrs. Jennie Elizabeth Wilson,
(nee Moore,) was born in Tennes-
see on August 5, 1848, and during
the next year her parents removed
TO Batesville. In 1865 the family
removed to Smithville, where the
deceased was married to Calvin j.
Wilson in 1871. In the same year
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson came to Even
ing Shade to reside, where they
lived continuously until 1911, when
they moved to Wilhford, where Mr..
Wilson is cashier of the Sharp
County Bank.
Mrs. Wilson passed away Feb
ruary %, after an illness of a few
days with pneumonia. At the bed
side when the end came were the
husband, her BROTHER, John Moore
of Mammoth Spring, three sons,
Rev. w. NJ. Wilson of Duncan, Okla
J. M. Wilson of Conway, F. f. Wi
son Of Augusta, aud two daughters,
Mrs. c. / Coser of Evening Shade
and Mrs. W. R. Davidson of Eove,
all of whom came to Eve ing
to be present at the funeral service.
Cther immediate relatives surviving
her are daughter, Mrs. 0. f. Puck
EFT of Hope, New Mex. and a sister,
Mrs. Josie Goodwin of Poplar Bluff,
Mo.
The body was laid away in the
Evening Shade cemetery Saturday
afternoon, after a funeral service
had been held at the M. E. Church
South, of which church she had
been a devoted and consistent
member since the year 1865, by
Rev. j. W. jenkins, the pastor. A
large number of sorrowing friends
were Pre- sent both at the church
service and at the grave to pay a
last tribute of esteem to the men,
Ory of the departed.
In the death of Mrs. Wilson her
family and friends, her commun-
ity and church have suffered a dis
tinct loss that is keenly felt. She
was unselfshly devoted to her fam
lily and their interests, and the help
fulness of her presence and her
counsel will be sadly missed in the
days that are to come. Her life in
the community, characterized as it
was by a daily exemplifcation OF
the true christian graces, served as
an inspiration toward the better
things of life to those with whom
she came in contact, and she leaves
a multitude of friends in whose
memories her good deeds and pur-
ity of life will long survive as a
pleasurable and profitable treasure
