Catherine Mason Wilson

Crawford County, Pennsylvania

President

local chapter of the U.S. Sanitary Commission

Cyrus Wilson's wife Catherine took an active part by organizing and serving as the president of the local Sanitary Commission. It was her responsibility to be certain that the women met the county's monthly commitment of bandaging and other medical supplies for battlefield hospitals.

Of this time of Catherine's life, her son would write: "But there came a time when the boys marched away to the strains of martial music. Of the four, grim years of war that followed, my mother would not often talk, and, not talking, I think mercifully she forgot. Only the pleasant memories remained." Cyrus and Catharine lived to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.
