From Nevada Representative November 29, 1912 (page 5)

A Des Moines man names O. W. Wilson, seventy years of age was found dead Wednesday morning by a friend with whom he had shared his room. He had given his bed to his friend and made a pallet for himself on the floor, and there is an appearance that in consequence of his kindliness he suffered in his sleep a chill that was fatal. There is nothing in particular to the item of local concern save that the name and initials have long been familiar in this county and that with them there has been associated the same spirit of kindliness.
