(1882-1956)
Bertha (Inks) Wilson was born on March 24,
1882 near
Farmington, Fayette County, PA, the daughter of Andrew
J. and Minerva (Minerd) Inks.
On Valentine's Day 1906, Bertha married Arthur B. Wilson (1885-1973). They are not thought to have had any children who survived to adulthood. Sadly, their only known child was born and died sometime before 1910.
The Wilsons resided in Uniontown, Fayette County.
They also lived in Greensburg, Westmoreland County, PA circa 1923, when Bertha's
mother resided with them and passed away in their home.

Later, they moved to Brownsville, PA, and thence to Fairchance, PA. Their last home together was at 35 Sheldon Avenue in Fairchance.
Arthur was a member of various lodges in Greensburg and Pittsburgh. Bertha belonged to the Fairchance Presbyterian Church.
Bertha passed away at home on Jan. 16, 1956. She
was buried at Mountain View Memorial Park.
On April 25, 1973, Arthur died at age 88 in a convalescent home in Markleysburg, PA. He was buried beside Bertha at Mountain View.
