The Grave of Henry Martin Baldwin Wilson

Inscription:

"H. M. B. WILSON

Henry Martin Baldwin Wilson and Sarah C. (Skillman) Wilson had another daughter, named Mary Eliza Wilson, who married Elmer Rowe.

The gold cross that Janet, great-great-granddaughter of Rev. Abraham Wilson, wore around her neck glowed with a deep, unforgettable light that carried my Dutch-American spirit up, away, and beyond the present time and space...
