Without a doubt this loved one had looked forward to this time of rest with keen anticipation. She had been in failing health for several months, gradually growing weaker, until God in His mercy quietly took her home.

Mary Ann Robinson Wilson, was born July 9, 1876, and departed this life September 30, 1943; age 67 years 2 months and 21 days. She was the daughter of Joseph and Catherine Brown Robinson, and was united in marriage to Harvey A. Wilson, who with three children has preceded her in death.

She leaves to mourn their loss, the following children: Mrs. Golda McClaskie and Mrs. Lula Strait of London, Frank Wilson of Ada, Mrs. Mabel Archer of near Range, Mrs. Leota Reisinger of South Charleston, and Mrs. Bertha Dawes and Leonard Wilson, of near Bookwalter, Ohio. Also 18 Grandchildren, one sister Mrs. Milton Millirons of near Plattsburg, Ohio and a host of other relatives and friends.

Aunt Mary, as she was familiarly known to all who knew her, was converted about thirty years ago in the Bethel Methodist Church, after which she united wsith the Church of Christ in Christian Union at Sedalia. She later transferred her membership to the Bookwalter Church of Christ in Christian Union, remaining a faithful member of this church until her death.

She was a kind loving mother and was loved by all who knew her. Although we deeply feel our loss, yet we know our loss is her gain.
