Ada Anneta Nelson was born August 1, 1853 at Erie, Penn., and died Nov. 30, 1922, in the Birney Hospital at Estherville, Iowa. She moved to Iowa with her parents at the age of thirteen years. When she was eighteen, she united with the Baptist church and remained a faithful member during her life.

She was married to Morris B. Wilkinson, Sept. 12, 1876, who with their three sons, Edwin, of Jackson, Minn., Harley, of Alpha, Minn.; Harry , of Peterson, Iowa, and a daughter, Mrs. Alice Wade, are left to mourn a faithful wife and mother.

Mrs. Wilkinson was a quiet home loving woman, one who was liked by all who knew her. She had been a great sufferer for many weeks past and no doubt death came as a great relief from pain and suffering.

Funeral services were held at the church in Superior, Sunday afternoon, and interment was in the Superior Cemetery. The sorrowing children and husband have the sympathy of all in the community. At present, Mr. Wilkinson is very sick at his home here.
