FUNERAL OF MRS. WILSON--The remains of Mrs. C. A. Wilson were brought up by the morning train yesterday, from Portland, accompanied by the relatives and friends, and were met at the depot by a large number of friends of the deceased and family in this city. The remains of Mrs. Wilson were taken from the depot to the Odd Fellows' Rural Cemetery; where they were laid beside those of her husband, Dr. W. H. Wilson. The services at the grave were conducted by the Rev. G. W. Izer, of Portland, and beautiful and appropriate music was furnished by the members of the choir of the Salem M. E. Church.
At the conclusion of the services, the Rev. William Roberts, of Portland read an obituary of the deceased, giving, in touching and impressive language, the many virtues of her, whose life was so full of kind acts and good deeds, and which ever expressed sympathy and regard for the unfortunate. And then the grave was filled and all that was left on earth of Mrs. Wilson was buried in the cold, damp ground. The bereaved family have the sympathy of numerous friends to comfort them in this sad affliction.
