"Mrs. Milcha A Wilson, widow of the late Alexander Wilson of Kent county MD., died at the Middletown Hotel, this town, Saturday morning the 11th after an illness of but a few days having passed the seventy-eight mile stone of life's journey the tenth of March last. Her husband died at Wilmer's Pint on "The Sassafras," January 12, 1875, and she continued to reside at this old mansion famous for its beautiful situation, until 1890, when she came to Middletown, and thereafter resided at the Middletown Hotel until the day of her death. Her husband owned a large landed estate in Kent County, MD. and his fine old country seat on "The Sassafras" was the delight of all who visited there. The hospitality of both was up to Maryland traditions, and those who visited them bore away memories of the sweet old country life that obtained on the Eastern Shore from the days of the first settlers.
Mrs. Wilson was quiet and unobtrusive and a woman of rare gentleness, and those who knew here best loved her most. She was born near Hart's Meeting House, in Cecil County, March 10th, 1825, and was married to Alexander Wilson Esq., in 1850, by whom she had two children. Addie L., wife of Daniel M Cochran Esq., and Geneva W., wife of Frank J Penington, Esq., both of whom survive her. Her body was interred in Forest Cemetery Tuesday afternoon, the 14th. Both She and her husband were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church and when they resided in Kent County worshiped at Sassafras." MT T
