Albert Wilson, son of John & Jane Caldwell Wilson.

Rachel Steen Wilson, daughter of John & Mary Finney Steen.

WILSON - Albert WILSON, a farmer of section 19, of Washington Township, came to Harrison County in December, 1882, and rented a farm on section 8, of Washington Township, having bought a farm of one hundred and sixty acres, which was then wild land. He commenced to improve it in the spring of 1883, and moved to the same in the fall of 1884. His present farm is well improved; has one hundred and fifty-five acres of plow land, while everything about the premises gives evidence of intelligent workmanship.

Mr. WILSON was born in Harrison County, Ohio, May 7, 1840 and in the spring of 1845 his parents removed to Noble County, that State, where he remained until the autumn of 1863, when he moved on a farm on his own account, continuing there until the spring of 1865. Then he sold out and came to Iowa County, Iowa, where he bought an improved farm, which he operated until February, 1869, and then traded that farm for another in the same county. Here he farmed until 1882, at which time he sold and came to Harrison County.

He was united in marriage, in Noble County, Ohio, October 1, 1863, to Miss Rachel STEEN, a native of Noble County, Ohio, born February 8, 1840.

Mr. and Mrs. WILSON have been blessed by the following children, eleven in number: Mary V., Joseph E., John S., Ida E., deceased, Frank N., Clara J., William C., Florence, deceased, Rauleigh R., Elmer O., and a child who died in infancy.

Politically, our subject is identified with the Democratic Party.
