The Intelligencer, Lexington, MO, March 22, 1890

Mrs. Lavinia Wade, aged 77 years, mother of Mr. Abe Wade, of Higginsvllle, was taken with an epileptic spell, at her home, near Hilton, Floyd county, Virginia, Monday of last week, and fell into a large, old fashioned fireplace and was burned to death. A widowed daughter had been in constant attendance upon her for some time and rarely ever left her presence, but at the time of the horrible accident, she had stepped into another room to attend to some trivial matter. When she returned her mother was dead.

Lavinia Phlegar Wade, widow of Owen Wade, d/o Abraham & Ann M. (Goodykoontz) Phelgar. [wade2]

The Pullman Herald, Pullman, Washington, Saturday, June 27, 1908.

Valentine Wilson, a well-known resident of this city, and one of the earliest pioneers of eastern Washington, died at his home in College Park, last Wednesday. Deceased had been suffering for several months from a complication of ill health, incurred chiefly by the physical infirmities of old age. Death occurred quite unexpectedly at 10:20 in the forenoon, in the presence of near relatives and friends. A brief service was held at the home of deceased in the afternoon, and on Thursday morning the remains were sent to Waitsburg for interment, accompanied by Gaston and Stella Wilson, daughter and son of the departed, and their bereaved mother, Mrs. Eliza  Wilson.

Valentine Wilson was born October 10th, 1829, in Floyd county, Virginia, and at the age of ten, moved to Carthage, Illinois. There he grew to early manhood, and when twenty-three years old was engaged in a mercantile business in that city. In 1852 he crossed the plains with a team of oxen, his objective point being Hangtown, California. After being In the mining district for seven years. He returned to Carthage in 1859, and on March 28th, of the following year, married Eliza Anne Tracy, the present widow of the deceased. On the day of their marriage, the wedded couple started for Suisun City, California, via New York. They crossed the Isthmus of Panama, and from there went by steamer to San Francisco.

In San Francisco Mr. and Mrs. Wilson lived for eleven years, during which time deceased was in the livery business, and helped install the city waterworks. In 1880 they moved to Sonoma county, California, where they were engaged in farming for about nine years. In 1880, accompanied by Mr. Walter Davis, who at present has his home in Pullman, they journeyed by wagon to Whitman county. In 1881 he returned to California, and in the same year returned north with his family, this time their objective point being Walla Walla county. In the Eureka country Mr. Wilson engaged in farming until 1890, when he and his wife moved to Waitsburg to educate their children. In 1903 they came to Pullman, and since then have resided in this town.

Surviving the deceased are his wife, Eliza Anne (Tracy) Willson, of Pullman; G. B. Wilson, of Suisun, Cal., A. C. Wilson, I. E. Wilson, V. L. Wilson, S. G. Wilson, all living in San Francisco, and Gaston Wilson, of St. John.
