The news of the death of Mr. M. W. Wilkinson came as a great shock to this community in which he had spent more than forty years of his honorable, upright life. This good man breathed his last at 9:15 Sunday night in the General Hospital at Rochester, where he had been for nine days. Death was due to acute intestinal obstruction. Mr. Wilkinson had gone to Rochester to visit his brother, and was taken ill the night of the same day he arrived at his brother’s home.
Maxwell Wellington Wilkinson was born in the town of Amboy, August 21, 1847, a son of George M. and Polly Ann (Spicer- Wilkinson. His early life was spent on the homestead. October 7, 1868, he married Miss Harriet E. Vaughn, of Constantia, the ceremony being performed in that town. They began married life in Amboy and continued to live there until 1878 when they located in Camden, the remainder of his life having been spent here except one year when he was employed in Rome, and the last four years, most of which time he had made Syracuse his home. His life partner passed away March 13, 1913.
Mr. Wilkinson was a fine Christian gentleman, universally respected and held in affectionate regard as a friend and neighbor. He was a valued member of the Methodist church, has always taken a stand for the temperance cause and every move for the uplift of church, home and humanity. He was a man of industry and integrity.
He was a long-time and devoted member in that finest patriotic lodges, Order of United American Men. In Camden Council, No. 65, he had been honored with all its offices and had also been its representative to the State Council. Mr. Wilkinson was also a granger, first uniting in Amboy and later transferring his membership to the Camden Grange. He also had been an active member of Camden Tent, Sir Knights of the Maccabees.
Besides a wide circle of friends who today are saddened by his death he leaves to mourn the loss of a kind and loving father, a son and two daughters, Mr. Frank E. Wilkinson of Buffalo, Mrs. William Lewis of Cleveland, Ohio, and Mrs. A. E. Helmer of Camden. One brother, Mr. William Wilkinson of Rochester, and a sister, Mrs. James Thomson of Amboy Center, also survives.
