CHARLES BROWN WILSON Charles Brown Wilson, the next youngest of the eleven children of James X. and Martha Miller Wilson, pioneers of Louisa county, was born February 19, 1861. He was called to his reward December 10, 1927, at Clover Dale farm near Morning Sun, Iowa, where he had spent his entire life, aged sixty-six years, nine months and twenty-two days. He attended the district school at Honey Creek, the Academy at Morning Sun and graduated from Elliot’s Business College in Burlington in 1882. Mr. Wilson was married December 22, 1885, to Miss Anna J. Wilson of the Sharon community. Five children were given to this home, the eldest, Ella May, dying in infancy. Russell was killed in a runaway accident, August 8, 1914, in his seventeenth year. Ethel Myrilla in her fourteenth year died of scarlet fever and pneumonia in 1920. The wife and two sons survive, Raymond, who was called home from Japan in October, where he had been traveling and studying as the first Japanese Brotherhood scholar, and Ralph, now on the home farm. Two sisters and one brother are also left, Cynthia and Rose Wilson, of Pasadena, California, for forty and thirty years, respectively, missionaries in India, and William G. Wilson Sr., of Morning Sun, Iowa. In politics Mr. Wilson was a Republican, prominent in the councils of his party. He was twice elected to the office of State Representative, being a member of the Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh General Assemblies, where he served the people of his state with honor and distinction. But more than all, he was an earnest, consecrated Christian; a man who under all the trials and the troubles of life kept perfect faith and trust in God. At an early age he joined the United Presbyterian church and continued a faithful member until his death. For many years he was one of the board of trustees, and for the last eight years of his life served as ruling elder. A faithful teacher in the Sabbath School he could always be found in his place on the Lord’s Day. Therefore, Be It Resolved, That in the passing of the Hon. Charles B. Wilson, the state has lost a valuable and honored citizen, a man of strong Christian character and sterling worth, and the House would tender by this resolution its sincere sympathy to the surviving members of his family in their sorrow, and Be It Further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be spread upon the Journal of the House, and that the Chief Clerk be instructed to send an enrolled copy to the family of the deceased. RALPH R. HUNT, A. H. MOUNCE, C. O. DAYTON, Committee. ___________________________ Unanimously adopted April 8, 1929.
