Wilson, Sarah E.
Sarah E. Wilson was born in Loudon Co., Va., March 10, 1834, and came to Perry Co. Ohio with her parents four years later. On Dec. 14, 1854 she united in marriage with William L. King, who preceded her to the spirit world on July 21, 1888. To this union ten children were born, five of whom have passed to the “great beyond.” For many years, sister King was a faithful member of Somerset M. E. Church, and her Christian life was ever above reproach. During her last illness, she declared her belief that her earthly work was finished, and earnestly prayed that she might depart, and be with Christ. That prayer, we believe, was answered on the evening of May 5, when her earthly life came to a close. Her three sons and two daughters will have the sympathy of all who know them in the sorrow that has overtaken them in the loss of a kind and devoted mother.
