ROBERT M. WILSON, farmer; P. O. Troy. Robert M. Wilson, one of the popular young farmers whom we are pleased to notice, is a direct descendant of one of the first families of this township, his father, John Wilson, having lived here for the past thirty-five years; Robert was born March 6, 1848, upon the farm where his father now resides, and his occupation from choice has been that of a farmer; he is now comfortably located on a nice farm of his own, in full view of the homestead, surrounded by relatives and friends. Sept. 17, 1873, he was united in marriage to Miss Allie D. Brown, the Rev. I. L. Griffith performing the marriage ceremony, at the Bethel Christian Church, fully 1,000 persons witnessing the marriage of two of their popular young friends; they are now the parents of two lovely children— Clarence Wilford, was born Oct. 9, 1875, and Viona May, May 28, 1879; they are the sunshine of their parents’ home, and give promise of great intellectuality; Mrs. Wilson was born June 17, 1853, and is the daughter of George M. and Annie Brown, who have also been for many years residents of the county; they were the parents of four children— Alonzo, Estella, Mollie and Allie (now the wife of Robert Wilson).
