Obituary for Mrs. George Wilson from Sparta, IL newspaper, Thurs. Sept 9, 1926:

Death brings end wedded life of sixty years
Mrs. George Wilson passed away at her home early Wednesday. The Grim Reaper stalked into the home of Mr. & Mrs. George Wilson on West Third Street at 12:50 o’clock Wednesday morning and terminated a marital union of almost 60 years standing when Mrs. Wilson succumbed to a clot on the brain. She had been ill only since Saturday evening, and on last Friday had attended a birthday celebration in honor of her husband at the home of Mr. & Mrs. George Chambers south of town.
Had Mrs. Wilson lived until Oct. 23rd, she would have observed her sixtieth wedding anniversary. Plans for the celebration were well under way when interrupted by death.
Funeral services will be held at the residence at 2 o’clock this afternoon and interment will be made in the family lot in Union Cemetery. Rev. D. M. Conn, Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church will conduct the services.
Mrs. Wilson was a native of Randolph county and spent most of her life in this vicinity. She was born at Mill Creek, near the Jackson county line, on Nov. 8, 1849 and therefore was aged 76 years 10 months at the time of her death. She was a daughter of Mr. & Mrs. James McLaughlin, pioneer residents of the south part of the county.
On Oct. 23, 1866, just at the close of the Civil War, she was united in marriage at the home of her parents, to George Wilson, who still survives. They resided on a farm in Jackson county for six years and then moved to the farm south of town now occupied by Phillip Weber, where they resided until sixteen years ago when they moved to their home in Sparta. To this union were born eleven children, four of them preceded their mother in death.
Surviving are four sons, Henry of Wells, Neb., Don & Waldo of Milwaukee, WI., & Logan of St. Louis, and three daughters, Mrs. John Davison of Shreveport, LA., Mrs. George Chambers and Mrs. Steve Candler of this city. All of the children are here for the funeral, except Henry, who wired that he would be unable to make the trip. Miss Ella Chambers, a student nurse at St. Louis, was at her grandmother’s bedside Tuesday and returned for the funeral today. Miss Ruth Chambers, who teaches in the Chester school, is also home for the funeral.
