Porter of Jamestown and Mrs. Ethel W. Lewis of Conneaut, OH; a brother George Brain: a sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Williams of Santa Monica, Cal.; nine grandchildren and sever great grandchildren. Mrs. Wilson was born Oct 8, 1858 [ed: error, as was 1857] at Randolph [ed: error, as was baptized in Bristol, Gloucestershire, England 08 Nov 1857 and did not arrive in New York till 1859] and had lived in Jamestown 30 years.

Esther was preceded in death by her sons Ernest D Wilson(1881- 1905) and Elde Spencer Wilson (1892-1919).
Her husband is buried in Jamestown with the spelling of his name as Willson, which is the traditional spelling in the family. He was married 1904 to 2nd wife Effie Matilda Dille Robinson prior to death of Esther and they moved to Pennsylvania. His 2nd wife is buried with her 1st husband in Cottage, Cattaraugus County, New York.
Collin was born as John Collin Willson, but legal documents call him by only Collin Willson.
Note the change of spelling from surname Willson to Wilson over the years after they were married.
It is unknown if this is her actual burial site as she outlived her husband by many years, but she died here and this is the burial site for her husband, so it is likely she is also buried here.
