In a few minutes his wife noticed that something unusual was the matter and called assistance, but before a physician could be called he lapsed into unconsciousness, and peacefully went to his final sleep about 10:30 a.m.
Mr. Wilson was a kindly, genial man, always ready with a smile and a hopeful word for all; honest in all the walks of life, he is gone beloved of family and community, leaving a goodly heritage of a deeply spiritual, Christian life, to children and friends.

In that state, on Nov 10, 1859 he was married to Jane Neeley, his loved companion of all these years, who with four children, namely: Mrs. G. S. Beevers, and Homer Wilson, all of this city, Mrs. Grant Waymire of Madison and Mrs. Eugene Allsop, Argentine survive to mourn the loss. Two children beyond to meet and greet him in the land "where the mists have rolled away," a child who died in infancy, and Mrs. Edith Allsop, who died Feb 25, 1908. Deceased was a man of strong religious convictions, having been converted and joined the Presbyterian Church at the age of 17; a dozen years ago he joined the Methodist church, and was always found at his post of duty, doing the Master's service.
In 1879 he came to Anderson County, Kansas, and 10 years latter to this county, where until a few years ago he resided on a farm northeast of Hamilton, coming to town as age crept on to take ease of his decline days.
The funeral was held from the Baptist church, Sunday morning at 10:30, his pastor, Rev. C. H. Gerkin, officiating, and paying a touching tribute to him as a faithful, helpful member of his flock. A great crowd of neighbors and friends filled the church, showing, their esteem and love for the departed. The interment was in the Hamilton cemetery.
