OBITUARY TAKEN FROM THE GAINESVILLE SUN, GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA, JUNE 13, 1919 DEATH OF MRS. L. S. WILSON, WIDOW OF J. N. WILSON Mrs. Wilson died at her home near Alachua May 27, 1919, and was laid to rest beside her husband in Forest Grove Cemetery, Wednesday afternoon, May 28th. She had been a consistent member of the Baptist Church for many years. Always ready to do her Master's will in any possible way, she could. None knew her but to love her. She always had a smile and pleasant words for everyone. In sickness and trouble she was ever ready to comfort. She was a devoted wife, and indulgent, sacrificing mother, a devoted sister and friend. She leaves to mourn her loss five sons, H. C. of Winter Park; John K., William Z. and George W., of Alachua, and Joseph of Steckert; her daughters are Mrs. Austin Cathcart, Mrs. Jasper Davies, of Alachua; Mrs. Leona Wainwright, widow, of Jacksonville, and Mrs. W. O. Russell of Ocala. A brother, Mr. J. M. Guinn, and two sisters, Mrs. Hagan and Mrs. Stephens. A sister-in-law at Jacksonville. Thirty-eight grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren, with countless friends. This sad death-bed will always be in my memory, to see her nine children, some with almost white hair, kneeling beside their mother's bedside, weeping to know she must soon leave them. Not a moment did they leave her for fear she would at any moment whisper the last word, "good-bye." Sons and daughters, son-in-law, daughters-in-law, all stood with weeping eyes, eager to do something and kiss her fevered brow. Dr. Jim Bishop was her attending physician, who never neglected her a day, but did all he could to spare her to her children. The Lord giveth and he also taketh away. She was seventy-two years old. Her work was done; she must go. We must submit to our Master's will. We want to thank everyone for their kindness and assistance during her illness. Also for the many beautiful floral offerings they sent us from Alachua, and all our neighbors. We do appreciate every hand that helped during her sickness and death, and every flower sent. We thank each and every one. THE WILSON FAMILY Oh, you who have a mother dear, Let not an act or word give pain; But cherish, love her with your life, You never can have her back again.
