I found this article In all my collection that this family will like and will remember everyone when we heard of Kennedy's death. I have a Hiram Wilson in my tree as a child of Jacob Wilson b. 1802 and Mary Cole Wilson who died 1870. Would my hiram be this one. If so please let me know. I have the Wilson line on my mothers side. Enjoy the article Wind Ridge, Feb. 13.- Mrs. J. P. McNay, of Wind Ridge, formerly Miss Frances E. Wilson, of Fallowfield Township, Washington County, who will be 93 years of age on Feb. 22, 1948, remembers when the word came to her community that Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, had been assassinated. Mrs. McNay was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Wilson. The family was sitting by the fire on this particular night when a neighbor, Jacob Sphar, came by on horseback and stopped and called Mr. Wilson outside to tell him that he had just came from Monongahela, a town five miles distant, where he had heard that the President had been shot in Washington City. When Mr. Wilson returned to the house, he told what he had heard and his wife made the remark that the man was drunk. The man, however, was not drunk, and the word was soon spread abroad. Mrs. McNay was ten years old at that time and she well remembers the event. Laura N.
