William Wilder.
Mr. William Wilder died at his home
on Railroad street Sunday morning,
Feb. 22 at the age of 67 years. he
had been a man of unusually robust
health all his life. His last illness was
called hardening of the liver, and he
was confined to his house seven weeks.
Mr. Wilder was born at Sandy Creek,
New York. From 1850 to 1855 he was
in California, removing to St.
Johnsbury in 1856. For ten years he was
engaged in the manufacture of hoes
and forks with the late Geo. W. Ely,
under the firm name of Ely & Wilder,
but for the last fourteen years he had
been engaged in the iron business on
Railroad street. But it was as a
Christian man that Mr. Wilder was best
known. For fifty-five years he had
publicly professed Christ; for nearly
thirty years he was a worthy and
valued member of the North
Congregational church in this place.
For several years past he had been quite
active in holding religious meetings in
outlying districts and in neighboring
towns. He rejoiced in the progress of
the gospel, and like Barnabas, 'when
he had seen the grace of God, was
glad." Mr. Wilder left a wife and a
son and daughter, two brothers in
Orland, Indiana, and a sister in North
Topeka, Kansas.
