ELMER WILSON DEAD IN MINN.
Word was received here today by relatives telling of the death of Elmer Wilson, 32 years old, a former local young man, who died in the Mayo hospital at Rochester, Minn., following an operation.
The deceased was well known to local residents, as he lived here until about eight years ago, when he removed to West Liberty. One year ago he removed with his wife to Austin, Minn., where they have since resided.
To survive him he leaves his wife, his father, Joseph Wilson, Sr. of this city; five brothers, Joseph, Jr., John, Oliver, William and Everett, all of Muscatine, and two sisters, Mrs. Mert Gatton of Iowa City, and Mrs. William Burkhardt, residing here.
The remains will be brought here, and the funeral will be held on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home of his sister, Mrs. William Burkhardt, 419 East Front street. Burial will be made in Greenwood.
