CHRISTOPHER WILSON.

    Mr. Wilson was of Irish parentage. He was born in Kanawha County, Va., in
1847. When ten years of age, his parents moved to Kansas and settled on a farm
near Louisburg. He received a common school education and pursued farming until
1872. In that year he came to Colorado. For about two years he was engaged in
the lumber business, in the employ of S. P. Gutshall, at and above Colorado
Springs. In 1874, he came to Pueblo and took charge of a lumber-yard for Mr.
Gutshall, in which capacity he continued about two years. From October, 1876, to
January, 1880, he held the office of Police Justice in South Pueblo. He was also
City Clerk and Treasurer of South Pueblo from April, 1877, to April, 1879. In
January, 1880, he became Deputy County Treasurer under Mr. Carlile, which
position he still holds. Mr. Wilson is now popularly known, and well established
in the confidence of his fellow-citizens. He was married at Pueblo June 17,
1879, to Miss Emma R. Divelbliss.
