John Wilson (Mid Durham MP)
John Wilson (1837 – 24 March 1915) was an English coal miner, trade unionist, and a Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) for more than 25 years.
Early life
Born at Greatham, near Hartlepool, his mother Hannah died when he was four. After his father, Christopher (b. 1807 at Greatham), died of cholera when Wilson was ten, he worked in the mines, spent four years as a merchant seaman, and return to Durham as a miner in 1860. Married in 1832 to Margaret (née Firth), the couple emigrated to the United States in 1864, where Wilson worked the mines in Pennsylvania and Illinois. They returned to Durham in 1867; the first two of their five children had been born in America.
Wilson was one of the founders in 1869 of the Durham Miners' Association (DMA), which led to him being denied employment, but in 1878 he became a full-time union organiser, rising to become the DMA's general secretary in 1896.
Political career
The Reform Act 1867 had extended the vote to working-class men in urban areas, allowing the election in 1874 of Thomas Burt and Alexander Macdonald as Liberal–Labour Members of Parliament (MPs).
John Wilson (playwright)
John Wilson (1626–1696) was an English playwright and lawyer.
Life and Work
He was son of Aaron Wilson, a royalist divine, and was born in London in 1627. He matriculated from Exeter College, Oxford, in 1644, and entered Lincoln's Inn two years later, being called to the bar in 1649. His unswerving support of the royal pretensions recommended him to James, duke of York, through whose influence he became Recorder of Derry about 1681. His Discourse of Monarchy (1684), a tract in favour of the succession of the duke of York, was followed (1685) by a "Pindarique" on his coronation. In 1688 he wrote Jus regium Coronae, a learned defence of James's action in dispensing with the penal statutes. He died in obscurity, due perhaps to his political opinions, in 1696. Wilson was the author of four plays, showing a vigorous and learned wit, and a power of character-drawing that place him rather among the followers of Ben Jonson than with the Restoration dramatists.

What It Really Is
by: Jayne NelsenIt looks just like an old man and his old wife
Havin’ lunch in the food court at the mall
He stumbles twice, she holds on tight
And he’s embarrassed cuz he almost falls
It looks just like the sad end of a long life
But that ain’t it at all
What it really is is a boy home from world war two
One leg pinned up on his uniform
Tryin’ not to cry as he spit shines one black shoe
Scared she won’t love him anymore
What it really is is the smile on her pretty young face
As he crutches down the gang plank and that kiss
That’s burned from that day to this
That’s what it really is
It looks just like a small town around twilight
And a couple pushin’ a stroller up the street
They stop a while and the neighbors smile
At the baby’s pretty little hands and feet
It looks just like just another brand new life
But that picture ain’t complete
Cuz what it really is is one expert after another
Breakin’ their hearts month after month
Tellin’ her that she will never be a mother
And him that he will never hold a son
And what it really is is a waiting room and tears of joy
As he walks in with a little boy all his
His finger wrapped in a tiny little fist
That’s what it really is
So much of what this life can be
All depends on what you see
It looks just like a long line of headlights
Rolling slowly down a rainy country road
A small casket white, a cold, windy graveside
And a family with such a heavy load
It looks just like the sad end of a short life
But the truth be told
What it really is is the first breath she’s ever taken
That made her feel like she could fly
The grey skies above and the chains finally breakin’
And tellin’ the pain goodbye
What it really is is running to her Savior’s side
In a body glorified in bliss
As she slips her little hand into His
