Pioneer is Laid to Rest at Carson City
William Wilson, Old-Timer of Pine Grove, Is Buried at Carson City
A few days ago in this city was laid to rest one of the old pioneers who made
the state what it is today.  This was William Wilson of Pine Grove, who died on
the 11th of January.  He was born in Stillwater, Ohio, on the 16th day of
January, 1827, and crossed the plains to Nevada in 1850.  In 1863 he journeyed
to the then wilds of Mason Valley and from that time ever since had made that
section his home.
On the 16th day of July, 1866, he discovered the lead which afterward developed
into the famous mines of Pine Grove, which are still being worked.
In 1874 he married Maria Jane White and moved with her to the camp of Pine
Grove, where they made their happy home until they returned to Carson City to
live, where the wife died shortly after a year of wedded life.  Mr. Wilson lived
in Carson until 1866, when he again returned to Pine Grove.  In Carson City on
the 31st day of March, 1860, he was married to Elizabeth A. Stewart, who with
the two daughters of the union, Mrs. Jesse Martin and Mrs. Jeanne Lankin, are
mourning his departure—Carson News.
