WILSON, WILLIAM ALONZO CIVIL WAR VETERAN
THE EVERETT DAILY HERALD, under the column Snohomish, titled W. A. WILSON DIES

W. A. Wilson, the venerable bridge tender, who for many long years has had charge of the Snohomish River bridge, died at 3:45 o'clock this morning after a long illness. He was born in Massachusetts almost 75 years ago and for 21 years resided in this city.
For a long time he was identified with the police force of this city, and for about 15 years had charge of the Snohomish wagon bridge and was a deputy sheriff. He leaves a large family of children and grandchildren to mourn his loss. He was a strong, vigorous old man until about two years ago, when his son Grant Wilson was fatally injured in a shooting in Aberdeen; and within the same period his wife died. After her death Mr. Wilson talked continually of the short time he would be living. He made careful preparation for his funeral and seemed to take pride in the fact that the Fraternal Order of Eagles, of which he was an honarary member, would attend his funeral. The funeral service will be held in Eagle's hall under the aspices of Snohomish Aerie No. 195, Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The body will be buried in G.A.R. Cemetery by the side of his wife, who was his helpmate for fifty years.
