Shared stone with his wife, Chloe Willson. Stone reads: "He lived and died a Christian. Absent from the body and present with the Lord."
DEATH OF DR. W. H. WILLSON
On Thursday last, between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, while Dr. Willson was sitting in the drug store of Messrs. W. E. Smith & Co. talking to several persons, he instantly fell from his chair insensible, and in less than an hour the vital spark had fled. He rode down on horseback from his house, and appeared as lively and well as he had been for some time past. Medical aid was immediately procured, but all efforts to restore him failed--death had done its work. He had been very unwell for the last six months, and the fatal issue was anticipated, although the precise nature of his disease was not fully known by his physician. There was a post mortem examination made upon the body, and it was diagnosed that he had been laboring under enlargement of the liver, which was of long standing; but the immediate cause of his death was from heavy congestion of the lungs, heart and spleen, and in all probability there was congestion of the brain. In his lungs were found a number of small particles resembling pebbles, and the right lung had strongly adhered to the walls of the thorax. Obituary notice next week.
