I was born 31 May 1889, Salt Lake City, Utah at Sugarhouse. Our home was a little way from the State Prison. My father lost that home and we moved to Waterloo. My father was John Ross Wilson, mother, Louisa Evens. I had five brothers, Wilford, Ernest, Orson (who lost his life in the first world war) and Clarence, and James. On my sixth birthday my mother let me go with some neighbors to a Ringly Brothers Circus. That being a highlight of my young life. They bought me a large balloon. When I got home my mother had some of my playmates come and give me a surprise party. At the party one of the girls was holding my baby brother and let him fall. My mother thought he was killed. After sometime he proved to be alright. When I was eight years old, my father decided to move his family to Vernal, Utah.

My girlhood days were spent going to the Vernal Central School. My brother and I had one and a half miles to walk to school. The eighth grade I attended the Uintah Stake Academy, where I graduated in 1907. I was chosen vice president of my class. That is where I met Edwin Bingham. We started going together. Our first date was a Halloween party.

In 1908 my father filed on some land that was being thrown open for bids. It was called Uintah Reservation. He drew 160 acres on what was known as the Blue Bench near the town of Theador, later called Duchesne. That is the place where my dear mother passed way. It was then I took over the home responsibilities at the age 18. For two years I clerked in a store.

Edwin and I became engaged. That winter he left and attended the BYU at Provo. He went two years. The third year we decided to get married, so on 5 October 1910 we were married in the Salt lake Temple by Anthon H. Lund. We spent about eight years at Vernal. I was Sunday School teacher which I enjoyed very much.

Our first baby was born at Vernal. When she was five months old she passed away with whooping cough. In another year we had another dear little girl. We called her Edna, I had two boys later and an adopted daughter. Their names are Glen, Ralph, and Fae, whom we loved very dearly. While at Vernal I held the job as secretary of the Stake Primary for three years. About 1918 we moved with our little family to Whiterocks on Indian Bench. We lived there about three years. We had sheep and I used to make pies, cakes and bread to sell to the Indians. We then moved on the Duchesne River, where we bought us a ranch of 220 acres. I was asked to be first counselor to Mary Burk in the Bynum Relief Society. I held that position until we moved to Charlo, Montana 20 April 1934, then I was asked to be first to be first counselor to Vera Clausen in the Charlo Primary. Sister Clausen passed away. Then I served as counselor to Marie Mortensen 17 October 1948 and was released 21 January 1951, Since that time I have served as Block Teacher in the Charlo Relief Society.

In October of 1950, Brother and Sister Zobell, Edwin and I took a trip back east. We followed the Old Mormon Trail as we could, back to Palmyra, New York. While back east we visited all the places of interest. I am very thankful to my Heavenly Father for that wonderful privilege. We went from ocean to ocean. Saw many places of interest. While on the Pacific Coast I saw my brother Wilford for the first time in twenty one years. We went through twenty one states and two foreign countries, Canada and Mexico. In 1951 we had the privilege of going to the Cardston Temple and seeing Glen and wife Grace and two children sealed. Edwin and I have had the opportunity of visiting all the temples in the United States and the one in Canada.

On 5 October 1951 my dear husband was stricken with a stroke and on 10 December 1955, he was taken from this earth.

She died 6 January 1975.
