Wilson

Wilson, Mrs. Mary. The funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at 2 p. m. from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. H. L. Clark, on McKinley avenue.

Her illness was caused by a fall on Aug. 17, but being of a naturally strong constitution and cheerful disposition, she recovered and was able to walk with the aid of crutches. But, on Dec. 5, she slipped and fell the second time, and further injuries were sustained resulting in her death. On Dec. 30, thinking to benefit her and give her better care, her daughters removed her to Mercy hospital. Instead of improving, as they hoped, she failed slowly but steadily until Jan. 24. She was brought to the home of Mrs. Clark where she remained until her death on Monday at 10:45 o’clock.
