Death shortly after seven o'clock on Wednesday evening, March 30th, claimed a widely known and highly esteemed resident of Ingersoll, in the person of Frances Bailey, dearly beloved wife of William Wilson, 231 Thames street south. Deceased had been in her usual health until about half an hour before her death when she was stricken with a heart seizure from which she never recovered.
Mrs. Wilson was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Bailey, and was born near Newark in Oxford County. She was in her 77th year and for upwards of thirty years had been a resident of Ingersoll. For some time the family resided on Charles Street west and of late years in the cottage just north of the Baptist Church on Thames Street. Previous to coming to Ingersoll Mr. and Mrs. Wilson farmed in Dereham Township for about twenty-five years. Deceased was a member of Trinity United Church and for a number of years associated herself with the various women's organizations of the congregation.
Mrs. Wilson was widely known throughout the town and district and her many friends will join in extending their deepest sympathy to the sorrowing husband and family, who are left to mourn her loss. Surviving besides her husband, are two sons, Walter Wilson, Dereham Township, James Leonard Wilson, Niagara Falls, N.Y., and two daughters, Mrs. Anzina A. Simmons, London, and Mrs. John G. Rawlings, Ingersoll, also twelve grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
The funeral was held from the family residence, 231 Thames street south, on Saturday afternoon where an impressive service was conducted at 2.30 o'clock, by Rev. R. B. Cummings of Salford. During the service which was very largely attended, Miss Mabel Clark sang as a vocal solo, "The Glory Song," with Mrs. Ewart A. Bartley acting as her accompanist. There was a large number of beautiful floral tributes, which with the many in attendance at the funeral, bore testimony to the esteem of a very wide circle of friends. Interment was made in the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery, the pallbearers being six grandsons of the deceased: Leroy Wilson, Morton Wilson, Cecil Wilson, Norval Foster, Ray Robinson and George Winder. Four other grandsons acted as flower bearers, namely, Wilson Foster, Burton Foster, Walter Wilson and Delbert Wilson. - Ingersoll Tribune, Apr. 7, 1938
