Sam's father was born in New Jersey and his mother in Pennsylvania. He married Orpha L.C. Case in Franklin County, Ohio on February 9, 1838.
Perrysburg Journal, May 17, 1890, pg 5, col 4 - "WILSON - Rev. Samuel Wilson died at his home in Perrysburg, O., Saturday, May 10, 1890, at the age of 74 years, 4 months and 15 days.
Mr. Wilson was born in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, December 25, 1815, where he spent his boyhood days. February 8, 1838, he was united in marriage to Miss Orpha Case, with whom he lived in happy companionship, until her death, which occurred August 1, 1883; this sad event transpired in the same house in which Mr. Wilson bid a last farewell to sorrowing friends and relatives. Six children were the fruit of this union, five boys and one girl, all of whom, with one exception, are now living, and were in attendance at his bedside when the angel of death beckoned him across the dark river.
Rev. Wilson entered the ministry in 1843, and devoted more or less time to that kindly office until his death; he was always found where duty called him, and was a devoted and conscientious worker in the casue of God and humanity.
In 1851 he entered land in Wood county, granted to him by the Government, and from that time until his death , has made this his home, with the exception of a few years in which he resided in Defiance county,
On March 17, 1886, he was married to Esther Bowen, of Richfield Center, Lucas county, O., whom he leaves to meet alone the storms and sunshine of her remaining sojourn here, as she waits for the smiling beyond.
The funeral services were held at the deceased's late home, on Tuesday morning, at 10:30, and were conducted by Rev. Thos. Heston, of DeGraff, O., assisted by Revs. G. G. Admas and G. G. Wiltsie. Rev. Heston was an old and intimate friend of Rev. Wilson, and also delivered the discourse at the funeral of Mrs. Wilson in 1883. Arrangements had previously been made, by which the survivor of the two friends should conduct the last sad rites of fellowship and friendship for the one gone before.
Rev. Wilson is too well known in this community to make it necessary to enumerate his kindly traits of character. A pioneer of the county, he has acquired a host of friends who are ready at all times to speak of him as a gentle and kind-hearted man never giving offense, and always ready to oblige and assist a fellow-mortal to the best of his ability. This is certainly attested to by the large concourse of friends who attended the ceremonies on Tuesday last.
Mr. Wilson had an attack of the influenza last winter, from the effects of which he never fully recovered, and which finally merged into the pneumonia. The breath of life passed from his body without a perceptible struggle, he retaining consciousness until the last, recognizing friends and relatives as they passed within his view. And thus, one more spirit has gone to its Maker." Contributed by Q Taylor
