DR E A WILSONDeath of Dr. E.A. Wilson
Last Monday Christian county lost one of its best citizens. Dr. A.E. Wilson after living in our midst for twenty years
and fulfilling honorably all the duties of citizenship is dead.
He was a man who enjoyed the pleasure of a large circle
of friends. His warm sympathies drew to him all who knew him. Eminently qualified in all the gentler and more refined
impulses of the human heart, he was the friend of the sufferer and the support and comforter of the needy and
distressed. He was firm but not severe, determined but not harsh, dignified but not ostentatious,. As a citizen he
seemed to understand thoroughly the relations of life, public and private. He was kind as a father, loving and lovable as a husband, and uncompromising as a friend. In his professional life he achieved a success commensurate with
distinguished ability. He won the confidence of the public by honestly and fair dealing in his practice. But the rare
qualities of his soul were not exhibited in their full beauty merely as a physician and a man, but reached their highest perfection in his symmetrical Christian character. He knew experimentally the practical value of faith in a Redeemer.
His whole life was touched and softened by a Christian charity. Thus it is we who lose one whom we all loved. His
children and a loving wife will mourn his loss, a host of friends are left to revere his memory, and we join in hearty
sympathy with them over the departure of one so valuable as a father, a husband and a friend. Fifty seven years were
allotted him to live and now we lay him away. Whether his grave is brightened by the summer's sun or wrapped in the
snows of winter, let us remember and be comforted by the fact that the late soul is safe in glory, where care and
sorrow is not known, and where the "weary are at rest." Christian Co Sep 1885
Two Deaths In One Home In Less Than A Week And a Third Is Expected At Any Moment
Two deaths in the same room within less than a week, and another expected at any time, is the sad condition at the
home of Mrs Sarah WADLINGTON, who lives on Little River near Tuggleville, six miles southeast of Cadiz.
Mrs Charles A WILSON, daughter of Mrs Wadlington, died last Friday night of pneumonia after a few days illness. About
two weeks before her death she went to the home of her brother, Ben C. WADLINGTON, who lives on the place with
his mother, to nurse the family through a siege of sickness, both Mr WADLINGTON and wife and all of their children being down with pneumonia and grip. She was taken sick a few days after and went to the home of her mother near by and took her bed. She grew gradually worse until the end came on Friday night.
Mrs Wilson was a daughter of the late Ferdinand WADLINGTON, and besides the mother whose death is hourly expected is survived by her husband and four brothers, Thomas F, W.W., Ben C. and Walker WADLINGTON.
She was a member of the Christian Church, and was a good Christian lady. She and Mr Wilson had only been married a few years.
The burial took place Sunday at the family grave yard. The grief stricken husband and friends and relatives have the profound sympathy of many in their hour of grief.
On Tuesday morning the second death came when Mrs Julia CHOATE sister of Mrs WADLINGTON and also had been living with her for several years crossed the silent river. Mrs Choate had been sick for several weeks, and death was due to an aggravated attack of grip. Her husband, William CHOATE, preceded her to the grave about three years ago. Mrs Choate was formerly a Miss DYER, a daughter of Andrew DYER, deceased, and is survived by a large number of relatives and friends. She was a member of the Locust Grove Baptist Church, and a kind and good old lady. The burial took place yesterday at the Mrs Margaret WILSON grave yard. Mrs Eliza
REDD, another sister of Mrs Wadlington and Mrs Choate, died only a few months ago at the same place, and the attending physician is authority for the statement that Mrs Wadlington cannot possibly recover. The family of Ben C. Wadlington are reported better, but all are yet unable to leave their room Feb 23, 1905 - Cadiz Record

Mollie Rose Wilson died July 6,1898 at her home on Dry Creek,Trigg Co Ky.
She was born September 27,1864 in the same county,was the daughter of Irvin and Lucy(Morris) Rose,granddaughter of of Merritt and Mary(Tinsley) Rose and great granddaughter of John and Jane Tinsley.
The latters father was Wm.Scott who removed from Lexington Ky about 100 years ago. His remains are interred on the farm which he owned and which is still in the possession of his descendants.
Mrs Wilson was one of the fifth generation all the above mentioned,having lived and died in the same vicinity,except Mrs Lucy Rose,who still survives.
It is a pleasure to note that without exception,the persons above mentioned embraced the Christian religion and died in all hope of eternal life..
Miss Mollie Rose and Christopher Wilson were married Dec 27,1887. They had four children given them to share their love and care--two boys and two girls-all of whom are living.In a letter to the writer some time ago,the mother s!
aid "I have fully realized that without Divine aid we can do nothing and,oh, how I earnestly desire to bring the little ones entrusted to my care,up in the love of Jesus and have them all he would wish them to be both here and hereafter".
She taught her children at home, saying she was not willing that they be away from her protecting care until they were old enough to remember her teaching and not depart from what was right. . Having been a teacher, she was qualified to to teach her children. She regarded the profession of teaching the grandest of all worldly callings. She loved the work and with better advantages, would have taken high rank among teachers.
She was fond of reading and read with sad interest the recent accounts of famine in India, saying that it made her more thankful to God for blessings she enjoyed. She appreciated culture and the many beautiful things which our Father in heaven has provided for his children in this world, but seemed content if she did ! not have them..
Probably our dear Mollie had faults or weaknesses odiment of many virtues and the tender affection which her husband and children manifested for her gives evidence of rare loveliness and domestic character.
At a meeting in Cadiz about five years ago,Mollie obtained a hope that her sins were forgiven and that in Christ she was a new creature. The radiance of this new life illuminated her pathway as the years passed by and was felt by those about her.
During her two weeks illness she talked calmly of death as of other affairs; it seemed that death had no terrors for her. She said she was sorry to leave her family,but death seemed only a dream and that they must not grieve, but meet her inb heaven. Then,seemingly, she fell asleep with Heaven's light beaming on her beautiful face of clay and swept thru the pearly gates into the beautiful city. Her intelligent sweet smile seemed toportray the wonderful beauty that unfolded before her raptured vision. "Eye hath not seen,nor ear heard,neither have they entered into the heart of ma! In the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him" She was strong in the belief of the Primitive Baptist Faith. "Asleep in Jesus,blessed sleep,from which none ever wake to weep"
