James Garfield (Jim) Wilson was a son of James Luther Wilson and Elizabeth A. Stoughton. He was born in 1887, the third of four children. He was, however, the older of the two remaining boys when his older brother and sister both died young. Jim and younger brother Bert worked with their father at the sawmill, and on the farm. He married Lorena B. Mayer, and they had seven children between 1909 an 1922. Over the years they acquired land from Lorena's paternal grandfather, from Jim's maternal grandfather John C. Stoughton, from his father James L. Wilson, and from Jim's uncle Sol Stoughton. Much of his land lay in the area of present day Moraine State Park. After the death of Lorena Jim remarried. His second wife was Della Reddick Wicks and they had three children. Both Jim and Bert followed the "oil excitement" to Venango County, hiring contractor Harry Fithian from Butler to drill wells on their property. Jim died five days before Christmas, in 1931, only two years after the death of his father. He was buried by Lorena at West Liberty Cemetery.
