To the memory of Mrs. Fred E. Wilson, who died at Derby March 11, 1909. Rita J. Shedd Wilson was born in Charleston May 17, 1874, the. daughter of Ivory and Candis Goodwin and after the death of her mother was adopted by her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Shedd, where she had her home until her marriage eleven years ago to Fred E. Wilson of Derby, who with two daughters. Edna, aged 8, and Freda, aged 4, mourn the loss of a kind, loving-wife and mother, whose every day was rich in love, sympathy and kindly deeds: she also leaves her father and two brothers and many other relatives to mourn for her. Her illness extended through several years and a brave fight made to regain the lost health by everything that love and medical skill could devise, but of no avail. She has gone to join the little son Kenneth, who passed away on May 1, 1908. Her absence leaves a dreary void in that pleasant home. It would be unavailing to try to count her friends. Truly "none knew her but to love her, none named her but to praise." Were each one to whom our dear friend performed a loving service, to bring one blossom to that snow clad grave on the hill the white mound would be transformed into a bed of bloom.
We miss thee from our hom deare, mother
We miss thee from thy place.
A shadow o'er our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and wiling hand
Thy fond and loving care.
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.Rev. J. J. Williams conducted the funeral services at the home Sunday, speaking from Phil. 1:21 : "For.to me to live is Christ and to die is gain." Interment at the West Charleston cemetery. (Orleans County Monitor, March 24, 1909, p. 9)

DAVIDSON - MORRISON - At Barnston, Que., by Rev. W. Williams, Oct. 19th, A. Lee Davidson to Miss Emma Morrison. (THe Herald, Oct. 29, 1899, p. 2)6. Sarah's first marriage to Albert Lee Davidson ended about 1905-1907. It seems that Albert wanted to move west to Alberta and presumably she did not want to follow. In 1905 he went west and worked as a cowboy on the Carby & Knight ranch. In Nov. of 1905 he filed for a homestead on the SW 32-39-12. Then he went back to Quebec for the winter and brought out a railcar of supplies. He put lumber in the bottom of the car, loaded equipment and horses and cattle. He had to freight his supplies from Stettler and ford the Battle River. His father Joe Davidson and his brother Ralph followed in 1907 and filed on the south quarters of 6-40-12 bringing more supplies.They were able to come to Sedgewick but waited three days in Daysland for the rail to be finished. In Sedgewick they had to unload their car. Ed Davidson, who worked for the railway and later worked in Alliance, told them just to pile their belongings on the ground and they would be perfectly safe. They were and it took several trips with teams of horses to get it all moved to the homestead. Joe Davidson stayed long enough to prove up on his homestead and then gave the quarter to his sons and returned to Quebec. (Joyce)

Afternoon tea and refreshments were served Mrs. Bliss says, “They are the nicest youngsters anyone can find anywhere ’’ After school starts, the young people are more busy, yet they often stop for a short chat, and as they pass the home, always wave a cheery greeting Mrs Bliss loves to play cards and often some of the young people drop in for a game of cribbage.

Mrs Bliss in her wheelchair up the street to the Bishop home where she was warmly welcomed and entertained by Mrs. Lloyd Bishop, Marlene and Heather, then taken back home Mrs. Bliss is mostly confined to her home although sometimes she goes for a drive with Lloyd into the country.
