Death of Thomas Wilkinson

We clip the following from the Beaver City (Neb.) Leader:

We learn, by a letter from Deadwood City, that Mr. Thomas Wilkinson, a well known citizen of this county, died in that place a short time ago, from hemorrhage of the lungs. During the war, Mr. Wilkinson received a shot in the lungs, which has caused him a great deal of trouble and suffering at different times, and has finally resulted in his death. Mr. Wilkinson left for the Black Hills last winter, and from all we can learn was doing well pecuniary. He leaves a wife and seven children living in this county near Lynden. He was one of our oldest settlers and was well known and respected in the county.

Mr. Wilkinson was a brother of A. W. Wilkinson of this place.
