Edward Francis Wilson was born in the Islington borough of London, England in 1844. he is the son of Daniel Wilson and Lucy Sarah Atkins. He was born into a family prominent in evangelical circles in England.  His patternal grandfather was the bishop of Calcutta.

Instead of following in the clergy footsteps of his family, Wilson opted to study farming. Wilson emigrated to Canada in 1865 with ambitions of becoming a farmer. However, upon his arrival he studied at Huron College in London, Ontario with the goal of becoming a missionary in Canada. He was ordained as a deacon on December 22, 1867 by the Bishop of London at the Chapel Royal in England. He returned to Huron as part of the Church Missionary Society. Wilson met his wife Frances (Fanny) Spooner in 1863 and they were married on June 3, 1868. They had eleven children

Wilson's early missionary work under the Church Missionary Society was focused on conversion of Indigenous peoples in Southwestern Ontario to the Anglican faith. This work was with Indigenous communities in Sarnia, Kettle Point, and Saint Claire First Nation. He also worked with the communities at Sauble, Cape Croker, and New Credit.

In 1871 Wilson moved to the Sault Ste. Marie and Garden River First Nation region. He was the founding principal of the Shingwauk Indian Residential School from 1873 until 1892 when he retired from missionary work and moved to Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. He was also responsible for the construction of schools in Batchawana Bay, Nipigon, Elkhorn, Manitoba (Washakada Home for Girls and Kasota Home for Boys), and Medicine Hat.

Wilson wrote and published extensively, including the following works: 

Wilson's writing can also be found in the Shingwauk Principal letter books, which include his outgoing correspondence from his time as Principal at the Shingwauk Residential School in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

Notes: 

The second image features John Rodd, Adam Kiyoshk, and Joseph Sahgejweh. The third image pictures Elise Muhnedoowahemig, Hannah Weezhoo, Eliza Jane Bird, and Lizzie Greenbird.

Third is a small cartoon.

Weezhoo (Naswahbequa, LOOKING THREE WAYS) arrived at Shingwauk on October 5, 1874 from Walpole Island. When she arrived she was doing the 1st part of additions. There is no report on the progress that she made in her 1 1/2 years of schooling although she was learning the laundry trade. On July 30, 1876 Hannah died suddenly of a disease of the brain and was buried in the Shingwauk cemetery. Hannah was student no. 8.

Eliza Jane Bird (Kahperrooqua) arrived at Shingwauk in August, 1874 from Sarnia. When she arrived she was doing the 2nd book, copy, and additions. Although she spoke a little English and she was trained in the laundry trade, her instructors reported that she made little progress. On June 3, 1875 she left Shingwauk on account of ill health. Later she went out to do domestic service and married Robert Brooking. Eliza Jane was student no. 2 at Shingwauk

Elise Muhnedoowahsing (Kahpenooqua) was the daughter of Shequiandah. She arrived at Shingwauk for the first time on October 6, 1874 from Sarnia. Upon her arrival she was doing the 2nd part of additions and although she knew no English she was a very steady and obedient student. By the time she left on October 29, 1876 she was reading the 3rd book, her English was fair, and she was a very good seamstress. She returned home after two years at Shingwauk until the "Girls' Home" was ready. She returned the second time on October 15, 1877 and stayed until June 22, 1878. Elise was student no. 4.

Greenbird

Two girls by the same name of Lizzie Greenbird attended the Shingwauk Home. It is unknown which of those two girls is in this photograph. Lizzie Greenbird, student no. 6 (Wahsagezhegoo-qua, BRIGHT SKY) came to Shingwauk from Walpole Island on October 5, 1874. When she arrived at Shingwauk Home she knew no English and was slowly learning the alphabet. During her one-year stay Lizzie accomplished the first few pages of Part 1 and figures. She left on June 3, 1875 on account of ill health and died one year later.

Lizzie Greenbird, student no. 7 was a cousin of Lizzie Greenbird (no. 6). She too was from Walpole Island. She arrived at Shingwauk Home on July 25, 1875. Like her cousin she knew no English and was commencing with the alphabet. Although it was reported that she was slow at learning she made fair improvement during her one year at Shingwauk. She left on June 7, 1876 and her relatives were unwilling to send her back on account of the death of her sister. By 1892 Lizzie was a widow and was singing in the choir
