RESIDENT HERE 50 YEARS DIES Mrs. Sarah Wilson, Aged 91, Passes Away January 
27; Rites Held Sunday St. Johns lost an esteemed resident Friday, January 
27, 1933, in the death of Mrs. Sarah J. Wilson. Despite her advanced age—she 
observed her 91st birthday last May —Mrs. Wilson remained keenly aware of 
dally affairs and her interest and enthusiasm was always an inspiration to 
those about her. 

Coming to this city some 50 years ago she became an active member of St. 
John’s Episcopal church and continued as a faithful worker until declining 
years made further participation impossible. She was 'a kind and loving 
mother and had many friends. 

A few weeks ago Mrs. Wilson became ill at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Una 
Ball, where she passed away Friday afternoon. Funeral services were 
conducted by Rev. W. Keith Chidester at the Episcopal church Sunday 
afternoon and burial was made in Mt. Rest cemetery. Surviving are the 
daughter, Mrs. Ball, and two sons, Edwin H. and Arthur E. Wilson, all of 
this city; six grandchildren and several great grandchildren. 

Sarah Jane Earl was born to Ephraim and Milinda Ann Robbins Earl, of English 
ancestry, at Pontiac, Michigan, May 15, 1842, the second of a family of six 
children. She was married August 14, 1862, to Hamilton Wilson and after 
living one year at Pontiac they moved to Flint where Mr. Wilson established 
a monument works. 

The year 1883 marked their coming to St. Johns where her husband who died 
soon afterward, joined with Henry Smith of Lapeer in founding the clothing 
store business which still bears the Wilson name.
