Read More	Joseph Wilson's parents were Joseph Wilson and Sally Collier, who were living in Cayuga County, New York when Joseph, their first son, was born. Joseph III was a farmer and carpenter. In the 1830s the family moved to South Bristol, Ontario County. Joseph, like his father, became a farmer. Joseph married Susan L. Cribb, daughter of Henry and Charety (Lent) Cribb, on January 19, 1841 in South Bristol. Susan was also born in Ontario County. Their first child, George Riley, was born in Ontario County. In the fall of 1845 the family moved to a farm near Waukegan in McHenry County, Illinois. Several of Joseph's siblings and their spouses also moved there. Joseph and Susan had three more children in McHenry County: Frances Adelaide, Sarah Oliva, and Dewitt Christian. In 1851 the family moved westward again, settling in Dubuque County, Iowa; once again, some of Joseph's siblings moved with him. The same year, son Adelbert Udell was born and Joseph Wilson founded the town of Farley. He played an active role in the history of the town from then onward. His home became the first post office and site of the first church services. Joseph helped build the first church and hotel in Farley. He was a justice of the peace during the Civil War era. In the 1860s he also became an eye doctor and, according to his great, great granddaughter, " . . . the best around. No one was ever turned away. If you couldn't pay for the treatment then you worked it off by doing chores around the eye clinic or the Wilson home." Joseph and Susan had their remaining children while living in Farley. Mary "Molly" Edna was the first child born in Farley. Stephen and Emily "Jennie", their last child, followed. They continued farming (as well as Joseph's occupations mentioned above) and the children worked on the farm as they grew up. Joseph moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to live with a daughter when his health began to fail. In July 1881 Joseph died there and Susan moved to Plymouth County to be closer to her children living there. She continued helping people with their eye problems after her husband's death. She died in 1904 and was buried in Riverside Cemetery in Akron, where some of her children and grandchildren were also buried. NOTE: Information about Dr. Wilson being buried in Mount Pleasant came from a direct descendant. However, the cemetery office was unable to locate his burial location in 2019-2020. He certainly was living in Sioux Falls at the time of his death. However, since he had recently moved there, there were no other family members buried there at that time. We will continue to look for information.
