Hi Marie, My Amanda E. Patterson was b. 7-3-1853 and married George L. Wilson in Illinois in 1870. Amanda E. Patterson Wilson lived in Webb City from about 1878 until her death in 1894. Amanda's husband was a member of the Odd Fellows. George and Amanda's only son (my ggreat grandfather Darious) at the age of 21 was wondering around parts of northern Arkansas when he contracted Typhoid Fever. George and Amanda were summoned by letter stating that if they wanted to see there son alive again they should come. They took the train from Webb City to Benton Co., Cherokee Arkansas where they two contracted Typhoid Fever. My ggreat grandfather Darious and his father in time recovered but Amanda died about a week after arriving in Benton Co., to be with her son. George's Odd Fellow chapter heard of their plight and what happened to Amanda. I'm not 100% sure if it was a local chapter or one from back home but the Sisters Rebekahs were the ones who arranged to bring Amanda's body back to Webb City as well as arranging her funeral. George and Darious were too weak to travel and had to stay in Benton Co., Arkansas. A letter was written by one of Amanda and George's daughters (Mary Julia "Birdie" Wilson) on 2-20-1894 to her cousin Msytle. The letter gives details about what happened to Amanda. I don't know who this Msytle is but toward the end of the letter Berdie states she will send too papers one for Msytle and the other for "ma's" brothers and sisters. Now at this point Berdie's dad and brother are still recovering in Cherokee, Arkansas and left at home are the 4 girls, the oldest being 23 and the youngest only being 2 1/2. Have you come across anyone in your research who's name or nick name might have been Msytle? She was a cousin to my ggreat grandfather and I believe she is from the Patterson side of the family.
