Wilson Family Burial Ground

"On the Wilson farm north of Eel River, just outside the city, in the center of a field opposite the north end of Seventeenth street are buried Gen. George Wilson, March 18. 1838, age fifty-six; Gen. George Wilson's wife, January 6, 1865; Wm. Wilson and son Alex, and other members of his family, but the latter have lately been removed to Mt. Hope.
There is a large monument to mark the grave of General Wilson and the lot is surrounded by a hedge fence and several large trees which can be seen from Seventeenth street.
This Farm belonged to Walter Wilson and he selected a beautiful burial ground overlooking the town. He was born 1782, died 1838. He was a general in the Indian wars and fought at Tippecanoe; was a member of the first Indiana legislature in 1816; came to Cass County in 1828 and again served in the legislature in 1831-32."
