Biography
Born in Westfield, New York,[1] Wilson graduated from Union College in 1854, studying the science and civil engineering course.[1] He taught school for two winters at Huntley, Illinois, then moved to Dubuque, Iowa, where he read law and worked as a land surveyor. He was admitted to the bar in the Fall of 1855, and moved to Wisconsin later that year.[2]
He settled at Mineral Point, Wisconsin, in Iowa County, and worked for several years as a teacher, served on the board of education, and was elected city superintendent of schools. While teaching, he read law in the offices of Cobb & Messmore.[3] In 1860, he began his own law practice in partnership with E. P. Weber. He was elected district attorney at the fall 1860 general election and was elected to the office again in 1864 and 1866. In December 1867, he was appointed county judge of Iowa County, replacing Luman M. Strong, who died in office.[2]
In 1874, he established a private bank in partnership with Edward Harris. The bank later developed into the City Bank of Mineral Point.[4]
He was elected Attorney General of Wisconsin in the general election of 1877 and was re-elected in 1879.[1] The Wisconsin Bar Association described Wilson as conservative, patient, and safe.[2]
After leaving office in 1882, Wilson returned to his private law practice. He died in March 1888 in Lincoln, Nebraska, while en route to California.[1][5] He is buried in Wyuka Cemetery in Lincoln.
