Obituary - North Vernon Plain Dealer
Died-on Friday, Nov. 2nd, '88, Mr. Frank B. Wilkerson, of heart disease.
He was born in Scott county, May 9th, 1821 and came to Montgomery township, this county, in 1830, and has resided here ever since. He married Sarah Adams, and twelve children, six boys and six girls were born to them. Ten are still alive, the other two having died in childhood. Mr. Wilkerson had never made a prefession of Christianity, but said he was not afraid to die. Last summer he had a severe illness, and his life was almost dispaired of, but he recovered and had gained his usual healthe. On the day of his death, he was at the blacksmith shop at Paris, and was talking with a couple of gentlemen, when he suddenly became ill and expired in about two minutes. He had been troubled with heart disease for some years. Another of our old settlers, and a good citizen is gone. He had gladly anticipated seeing his favorite man, Harrison, elected to the Presidency, but was stricken down four days before his hopes were realized. Truly, the ways of Providence are mysterious, but what God sends is for the best, and our friend is better off than he was in this world of strife and turmoil.
The bereaved family have the sympathy of a host of friends in their loss of a kind and affectionate husband and father.
His remains were interred in the cemetery at Paris, the Masons officiating, Mr. Wilkerson being a member of the Masonic order. L.A.D.
