Wilson Dunn

Tuesday was the anniversary of the birth of Wilson H. Dunn, he having been born July 9, 1820, and he seemed surprised when asked about his age, as though someone must be curious, forgetting the fact that 82 years is a good long time as ages go, and yet he carries no care nor in the least marked by disease or infirmity, and is likely to hold his own a good many more days and years.

William Wilgus

William Wilgus was born in Union township, where Proctorville now stands. He was raised on his father’s farm, where he remained up to 1845, when they both entered into the produce trade on the Ohio river, plying between St. Martinsville and Pattersonville.
