According to her death certificate and these summaries, she died on May 17, 1908, in Delta, Keokuk County, Iowa. However, according to her obituary, which I have transcribed below, Elizabeth died at her daughter's home in Ottumwa on Monday, May 18, 1908. The May 18 date agrees with the date on her gravestone. --------------- Obituary From Ottumwa Tri-Weekly Courier, Tuesday, May 19, 1908, Page 8: DEATHS WILSON–Monday, May 18, 1908, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. W.C. Hugus on Ward street, Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson of Delta, at 1 a.m. aged 76 years. The funeral arrangements have not yet been completed. The decedent is survived by two daughters and five sons. --------------- Please Note: The article that has been transcribed below is in the public domain and may also be read from the book online. This article stated that Elizabeth was born in Hardin County, Kentucky; however, her death certificate showed that she was born in Indiana, and in the census records, Elizabeth also stated that she was born in Indiana. From "The History of Keokuk County, Iowa, A History of the County, Its Cities, Towns, &c., Illustrated, 1880" DIRECTORY OF KEOKUK COUNTY IOWA WARREN TOWNSHIP Page 724: WILSON, MRS. ELIZABETH, Sec. 6; P. O. Delta; born in Hardin county, Kentucky, December 12, 1831; she married the late Dr. C. C. Wilson; he was born July 29, 1833 in Hardin county, Kentucky, and came to Sigourney Keokuk county, December 11, 1856, and from this place he removed to Springfield, this county, in 1865, and from thence to Delta in the fall of 1877; he served one term in the Iowa Legislature in 1872-3, and was justice of the peace in Sigourney for five years, filled many town and township offices during his life, and always served the people faithfully and well; he practiced medicine in this county for thirteen years and had an extensive practice, and has attended calls at the detriment of his own health; at the time of his death, which occurred April 20, 1879, he was president of the school board at Delta, and the fine school building is a monument to his name, for he did more than any other man to secure and erect the building, and Delta will long remember him for it; when Dr. Wilson undertook to do anything he did it with a will, and would allow nothing to be left undone that he could do to carry forward a good work; his medical practice extended for many miles in every direction, and the way he was appreciated was attested by the great number who attended his funeral; he was a man who had his own ideas about matters, and would stand up manfully for them until he was convinced of his error, if he was in error, and then he was quick to acknowledge his mistakes, and just as quickly correct them; as a business man he was as honest as men ever get to be; would wrong no man out of a cent, and would rather give than to take from any one; he was an energetic man, and was always working for the best interests of the county, and nothing was too great for him to do when it was beneficial to the county or community to which he lived; he left seven children: Wm. B., Robert B., Alice, Joseph H., Dewitt C., Susan and C. C.
