Mrs. Rose Wilson died Monday in this city after a lingering illness with tuberculosis. She is survived by the husband and three small children. About Christmas time the family were discovered in rooms in the old frame building north of the poultry house. The mother was stricken with fatal illness and the family were without proper food or clothing. A number of our good women interested themselves in their behalf, provided clean clothes, bedding and food and had them moved to a house in the south part of the city, which was donated by the owner for their use. It was here that the mother died on Monday.
