WILSON That venerable and honorable citizen of Kings county, Cal., O. L. Wilson, who is living in retirement at No. 602 East Ninth Street, Hanford, was born in Washington County, Ind., August 29, 1825, and has lived in California since August 8, 1849. He grew to manhood on a farm on Blue River, went to school at Salem and was managing a farm there for his father at the time of the outbreak of the Mexican War. Enlisting in Company D, Second Indiana volunteers, he was sent to Mexico in 1846 and served until the expiration of his term of enlistment. He returned to his home in Indiana, but again enlisted in Company B, Fifth Indiana Volunteers, under Captain Green, and was sent again to Mexico in 1847 and served gallantly until the end of the war when he was honorably discharged. He took part in many important engagements, including those at Buena Vista and Del Rey under such commanders as Generals Taylor, Woolfe, and Scott, the latter having been commander-in-chief. He has kept a copy of the Salem News, published at Salem, Ind., April 7, 1847, an extra edition devoted largely to the events of the Mexican war and containg bulletins of the very latest news from the camp of General Taylor. After the war he went to Scotland County, Mo., where he remained through the winter of 1848-49. On April 15, 1849, he started with an ox-team wagon train to California and arrived within the borders of this state August 8 following. For two years he mined at Ringgold and Weavertown, on the American River, at Yuba, at Rough and Ready, at Nevada City and in Nevada, meeting with fair success. His associations were not to his taste and in 1851 he bought land at Gilroy, Cal., part of the Los Alamos grant, and devoted himself to cattle raising with farming as subsidiary business. There he remained until he sold his land to Thomas Rey, and drove his cattle and sheep over into that part of Tulare county which is now Kings county and squatted on part of the Laguna De Tache grant. Later he secured one thousand acres of land on his Mexican war land warrant, lying on the Kings river in sections 1, 12 and 13. After that he bought land from time to time until he owned six thousand acres in that vicinity and in Fresno county and for about thirty years he was engaged in sheep raising. Eventually he divided most of his land among his children and in 1900 retired from active life. On December 3 1854, Mr. Wilson married Miss Rose Wilburn at Gilroy, and they had thirteen children, six of whom are now living. Mr. Wilson has nineteen granchildren and six great-grandchildren. Those children who survive are: John A.; William C.; Julia, widow of John Alcorn; Mrs. Rose Henry; Mrs Fannie Hughes, and Calhoun Wilson. During all his long and honorable career Mr. Wilson has consistently demonstrated his public spirit and has been in the van of all worthy movements for the public uplift. He has bought eight cemetery lots, on which he has erected a replica of the Washington monument, which when he has passed away will be his lasting memorial. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 5.
