SAD DEATH OF MRS. C. F. WILSON

WELL KNOWN NEVADA WOMAN CALLED BY DEATH EARLY WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The people of the community received a severe shock Wednesday evening about six o'clock when it was announced fro Iowa sanitarium that Mrs. C. F. Wilson, 36, well known wife and mother of this city had died.

Mrs. Wilson had submitted to an operation on May 1, nd for a time it appeared that she was recovering but on Tuesday she was taken worse, appeared to be rallying Wednesday forenoon, but grew worse again during the afternoon and passed away at about 6 o'clock.

Short funeral services were held at the home on Ninth street Thursday afternoon at 2:30, by Rev. J. George Walz of Central Presbyterian church, to which she belonged. The husband accompanied by her mother and a brother who were here, left with the body this morning for Henderson down in Mills county, where interment will take place on Saturday.

Flora Gray Wilson was born in Missouri May 21, 1888, and came with her parents to Iowa when she was a girl. It was while both she and Mr. Wilson were in the schools here that they became acquainted and were subsequently married June 14, 1916. The most of their married life had been spent in Nevada, where two children were born to them. The children are Sarah Margaret and James Frances, and they, with the husband are left to mourn her untimely and most sad death.

She was converted with a child and it was on Easter morning, 1921, that she and her husband united with the Central Presbyterian church in Nevada.

She was a member of the Ingleside club and had been a favorite among the younger married set in Nevada and her death is mourned by a large circle of friends in the city who will extend to the bereaved husband and the two little one their most profound sympathy.
