Wilkin W. SAMUELS

August 31, 1906
Clinton Register

PARALYSIS PROVES FATAL.
Clinton Man's Death the Result of an Accident About a Month Ago— Funeral Held Tuesday.

Wilkin W. SAMUELS died Sunday morning about 5 o'clock at his home on South Center street. Nearly four weeks ago he was driving on the track at the fairground and his horse ran, throwing him from the buggy. He fell on his head and shoulders, but his injury was not regarded serious. For several days he was very sore about his neck and shoulders, and about ten days before his death he was stricken with paralysis. His mind was not affected but he could not move his hands and feet but little, and there was only slight evidence of improvement. The fall had injured his spine and there was no relief.

Deceased was born near Hallsville, Sept. 19, 1854, and lived 52 years, 11 months and 7 days. Barnett township was his home until a few years ago, when he became a citizen of Clinton, and it had since been his home. February 23, 1898, he was married to Mrs. Tryphena WALKER, of Maroa, who survives him. He is also survived by his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth SAMUELS, of Clinton; Henry, of Pierre, S. D.; C. E. and Robert, of Clinton.

Funeral services were held at the home Tuesday at 3 o'clock, conducted by Rev. N. M. RIGG. Burial in Woodlawn cemetery.
