Perneta J. Wilson, daughter of John and Elizabeth Wilson was born May 25, 1849. Died February 27, 1908, aged 58 years, 11 months and 2 days. She was married to Absolom Newenham, March 4, 1868. To this union five children were born. Elizabeth A. (now Mrs. William Kennedy), Oliver, Ray, Ethel and Nellie. All the above named are living except Oliver, who died Jdanuary 5, 1905. Mr. Newenham with the four living children, together with three brothers, Benjamin, James M. and Henry Wilson and one sister, Mrs. G. W. Newenham survive her.
Mrs. Newenham had been afflicted with a cancerous affection for several years; and in May 190, had a surgical operation performed which gave relief for about one year, but symptoms of the malady appeared during 1907, which rapidly increased and resulted fatally as stated above.
Mrs. Newenham was a faithful wife, a tender, loving mother and a good neighbor. Her last intense suffering was endured with quite as much patience as is common to mankind.
Funeral services were conducted at Marden Chapel, Saturday, February 29, by Dr. Owens, and the remains were tenderly, and dearly laid away in Mt. Sterling cemetery. Despite the dreadful character of the roads, an immense concourse of people were in attendance, to pay there respects to the memory of one they loved.
