Read More	A migration from the home of her birth in Scotland in the early years of her married life to the unknown lands of a new world, is the story of Mrs. Annie Hotchkiss-Wilson, who passed away at her home in Burlingame, Friday, June 21, 1929, not quite seventy-three years old, after an illness of several weeks duration. Mrs. Wilson was born at Carronshore, Scotland, October 17, 1856, and in Scotland the early years of her life were lived. Here too, in early life, she united with the Presbyterian church. The romance and tragedy of Scottish story appealed strongly to her and her knowledge of Scottish, English and French history was quite unusual. She was intimately familiar with the heroic struggles of William Wallace and Robert Bruce for the independence of Scotland. She knew the Trossacks, and other scenes of the " Lady of the Lake" and her interest in the old castles was so great that at one time or another she had visited almost every one in Scotland. What wonder that love for her home land was so deep rooted that the land of her adoption could never quite take its place in her heart. Never losing touch through the years with its history, she kept abreast of political policies since the war and could outline the views of leading English and French statesmen as well. And so in her last days on earth her mind went back to the old childhood home in Scotland and back to the old songs she used to sing and to the mother and father gone on before. On March 10, 1877, she was married to Colin Wilson in Scotland and here her first two children were born. Glowing accounts of opportunities in the mining regions of America attracted the attention of her husband and he set out in 1889 to seek his fortunes across the sea, coming to Pennsylvania, and three months later to Osage City. Mr. Wilson was not long in sending for his family for in those days the small sum of thirty-five dollars was sufficient to bring them from Scotland to Osage City. It must have taken real courage to start on such a journey with only her two babes, especially for one whose home ties were so strong. After three years residence in Osage, the Wilson's moved to Burlingame, and here they made their home for 46 years. At the time of her death, Mrs. Wilson and her husband were three years past their golden wedding anniversary. In time her parents and all her brothers and sisters came to American and located near her in Burlingame and in these kinship ties she found her chief comfort. Her days in America were lived mostly in her home and for her family. Mrs. Wilson was the mother of twelve children. The following are still living and were all at home during her final illness; Mrs. Annie Curley, Burlingame; Mrs. Mary Welsh, Callander, Canada; Mrs. Rebecca Ross, Topeka; Mrs. Margaret Zucca, Sheridan, Wyoming; Mrs. Janet Giachino, Burlingame; Mrs. Christina Bradley, of Burlingame; Mrs. Nicholas Vardy, Kansas City, MO.; David Wilson of Burlingame; Edward Wilson of Sheridan, Wyoming and Colin Wilson of Topeka. She also had 38 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. Her brothers and sisters, all present at the funeral except two are: Mrs. Mary Washington, Kansas City, MO.; Mrs. Margaret Sharp, Pittsburg, Kansas; Mrs. Rebecca Foster of Burlingame; Cornelius Hotchkiss, Alexander Hotchkiss, Edward Hotchkiss and James Hotchkiss, all of Burlingame. Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church at three o'clock Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. E. A. Ahrens, and six grandsons, Robert, Colin and James Curley, Frank and John Giachino, and Colin Wilson, carried the body to its final resting place in Burlingame Cemetery under the direction of C. L. Carey. Burlingame, KS Enterprise-Chronicle Thurs. June 27, 1929 p1 -Contributed by Thomas Hotchkiss #47983816
