West Carroll Gazette-Oak Grove, La. August 15, 1915
  Mrs. Fannie C. Wilson was born in Texas on Sept. 15 1864.  Was married to 
William Cooper Wilson on November 1, 1883; died two miles south of here Monday 
morning at 7 o'clock of swamp fever after a two week's illness.  
  " Smooth the locks of silver hair,
    On our mother's brow with tenderest care,
    Gather the robe in final fold
      Around the form so still and cold;
    Lay on her bosom, pure as snow,
      The fairest sweetest flowers that grow,
    Kiss her and leave her our hearts delight
      Her pain is over she sleeps tonight.

     After a long, busy and useful life she died as she lived--honored, 
   trusted  and loved.  She reared her own monument while she lived in 
   the hearts of all who knew her.  Her life was completed if work all 
   done and well done constitutes completion.  Her Christian life was 
   beautiful from its beginning to its close, and through all the 
   vicissitudes and sorrow that she met in the way, her faith in God 
   never wavered.
     The last services were held at the home Tuesday at 11:30 o'clock,
   Rev. G.D. Purcell, officiating and paying a beautiful tribute to the 
   memory of the deceased.  At the close of the services a long rocession
   followed the funeral car to Oak Grove Cemetery where she was laid to
   rest at 1:30 p.m. She leaves her husband, 3 sons and 3 daughters.
