Mrs. Wildblood was born in Burslem, England, in 1843, and came to East Liverpool with her parents when she was but six years of age.

His wife died a few years later and Mrs. Wildblood went to live with the family of a farmer named Crawford. She remained with Mr. and Mrs. Crawford until her marriage with Mr. Wildblood, a well known potter, who died eight years ago.

She is survived by five children: Williams, Harry, George, and Mrs. Harry Watkins, of East Liverpool, and Mrs. Charles Huff, of Marietta. One brother, Harry Molineaux, of Tiflin, also survives.
