From the Richland Shield & Banner Newspaper, Jan. 28, 1888
"Died on Friday evening, Jan. 20, 1888, Samuel Wilson, Sen., aged 61 years and 14 days. Funeral services were held at Mt. Zion church on Sabbath afternoon, conducted by Rev. G. M. Grau. A large concourse of people were in attendance. The deceased was born in Westmoreland County, Penn. He grew up under the control and influence of Christian parents, and at an early age became a member of the U.P. church. In the beginning of the year 1884 he with his family removed to Ashland County, Ohio. Shortly after coming to Ohio he connected himself with the Lutheran Church at this place, of which he lived a consistent member up to the time of this death. During the whole period of his sickness, which lasted for about eight months, not a word of murmur was ever heard to escape from his lips, but he was fully resigned at all times to the will of his maker, when he finally fell asleep in the faith in which he had lived so long. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his departure. "

Notes for MARGARET A. FARRELL:
Margaret Farrell was an Irish mail order bride. This information was gathered by Aunt Vera, but no documention to prove this is the right Samuel Wilson, so she may not have been married to our Samuel Wilson.

Notes for MARGARET (ID#37) SHANIBARGER:
Ref. #37. Margaret and Samuel were married by the Reverend Isaac Culler.

Margaret's brother, Elias, bought 320 acres of property in Orange County, Florida on July 25, 1893. On December 21, 1894 he deeded almost 27 acres in Pine Castle, Florida to Margaret. When Samuel died, Margaret moved from Ohio to Pine Castle along with her children, including my grandfather, John Henry Wilson. She lived there until she was 68 years old and is buried at the Conway Methodist Church Cemetery in Orlando, Florida.

It is unproven but assumed that she died in Pine Castle, FL. Aunt Vera and I visited her grave in February, 1999. This is what her gravestone said:
