Kingsley--Our people were greatly shocked last Sunday afternoon when the report reached here of the death of G. W. Wilson, which occurred at his home west of Kingsley. Mr. Wilson had been ailing for a number of years, but had been able to be about and attend his business affairs. About two weeks ago he had the misfortune to step on a nail, which penetrated his foot and gave him some trouble, but it was not thought that it would result seriously. However, he became very ill last Saturday and his death occurred Sunday as above stated.

George was one of the earths' true noblemen, mingled with a great love for nature and his love for children and friends. People had but to know him to love him. His clean, manly life was an inspiration to all and his memory will be cherished by all who knew him. Truly the world does reverence to such a life, and God can say "Well done." It can be truly said that his friends were numbered by the score and all feel the world has been made better by his having lived in it.
