"Gone Home"
Ella, daughter of Andrew and Adaline Bowman, first saw the light of day in Franklin county, Indiana, December 5, 1874. When about twelve years of age her parents moved to Dixon, Mo., where she continued to reside until God called her away from "the life that now is."
On April 11, 1895, about two miles north of Dixon, in Maries county, she was united in marriage to Simon Wilson. To this union were born four children: Fay, 12 years of age; Pansy, 10 years of age; Floyd, eight years old, and Raymond, who is six years old.
Mrs. Wilson and her two little girls, Fay and Pansy, were converted during a revival conducted by Dr. Standard last winter in Dixon, and she, with her two little daughters, immediately united with the M.E. Church. She lived a consistent Christian life, and took great interest in having the children regularly in the Sunday School. She was an affectionate wife and a loving-hearted mother; a good Christian woman, who will be sadly missed at home as the days come and go, and missed by a large number of friends in Dixon and the country surrounding.
Mrs. Wilson was sick about two weeks, and during that time suffered great physical agony. At 6:55 on Friday, Dec 27. She passed from Earth to the "Glory World". A short time before she passed away a beautiful smile overspread her pale face as if the curtain had been lifted and she had a vision of rapturous scenes of the Glorified City. She was conscious to the last and tried to speak, but her physical strength was not sufficient for the effort. Before she went away she told her sorrowing husband that she was going away, and asked him to go with her.
Mrs. Wilson leaves her husband and four children, her invalid mother, two sisters, Mrs. Wooley of Newburg and Miss Addie Bowman of Dixon, and two brothers, George and Omer, both of Dixon, to mourn her loss.
The funeral was conducted by the writer at the M.E. Church in Dixon on Saturday January 28 (sic), at 1:30 p.m. after which the mortal body was taken to Fox Crossing cemetery for interment. Together with a large number of friends we extend our sympathy to the bereaved family in their great sorrow. By: FRANK P. RENO [From contributor, JW-Marie]
