Homer Wilson Dead
Homer Wilson died at his home two miles east of Hamilton, Saturday, Nov. 18, 1922.
He had been a sufferer from cancer of the liver for about a year but he bore his sufferings with fortitude.
Mr. Wilson was a resident of this vicinity for 33 years. About 10 years ago he bought and improved the beautiful farm where he resided at the time of his death.
His funeral was held in the M. E. Church at 2 o'clock, Monday, Nov. 20. The interment was made in the Hamilton cemetery, Rev. DuPlanties officiating. A large assemblage of friends gathered to pay their respect to the man whom they admired so much in the every day walks of life.
Obituary next week.
OBITUARY
James H. Wilson was born in Tecumseh, Michigan, October 1, 1864 and died at his home near Hamilton, Kansas, Nov 17th, 1922, aged fifty-eight years, one month, and 17 days.
He came to Anderson county, Kansas, at the age of 15 years and removed to Greenwood county in 1889, where he resided until his death.
He was married to Minnie M. Allsup January 2, 1896. He is survived by the wife and three sons: Glen F. Wilson, Briggsdale, Colorado; Forrest A. Wilson, Los Angeles, California; and Kenneth W. Wilson of Hamilton. He is also survived by three sisters, Mrs. G. S. Beevers, of Hamilton; Mrs. J. G. Waymire, Madison, Kansas; and Mrs. E. Allsup, Kansas City, Kansas.
Mr. Wilson, for many years and until the time of his death was engaged in farming and the live stock industry and his farm and home were always models of neatness. His judgment and advise in these industries was sought and followed by neighbors. He was highly respected and valued by all who knew him and those who had business relations with him had every confidence in his ability and integrity.
Until 1912 he had resided on his farm about five miles northeast of Hamilton but that year he purchased a farm just a mile out of town where he built a commodious and modern home. Since that time he has been a director of the First National Bank of Hamilton and his judgment pertaining to matters concerning the bank was always sought and found to be of value to the officers of the bank.
And so another valued life is closed. To him "Life's fitful scene is over." A neighbor, a friend, a loved one has gone on. But his memory will live in the hearts of those who knew him and though we shall see him no more here and shall miss his kindly greeting we shall not forget him.
