Alma A. Wilson House
Israel Nelson Wilson (b. July 20, 1828) was the son of Daniel "Boss" Wilson. The Wilsons were prominent in the North Billerica Mill district, but Israel was a sailor and trader. He died of apoplexy in 1868 at just 40 years old, leaving behind a wife, Alma (Caldwell) and two young daughters, Fannie and Annie.
Shortly after the death, on January 8, 1869, Thomas Talbot sold Alma the "Small House", which she sold to Marietta Hutchins in 1885.
In 1885, Thomas Talbot carved off this small lot of land directly across the street from the Wilson family, and sold it to Alma. She likely had the house built then, as it appears on the 1887 map.
