William T. Wilson.

William Taylor Wilson was born Oct. 30, 1847, at Centerville, Ia., and died at Bonaparte, Ia., May 31, 1908, being 60 years, 7 months and 1 day of age.

He was married to Francis Ann Custer at Centerville, Ia., Nov. 25, 1903, where they resided until the fall of 1905, when they removed to Bonaparte.

He leaves to mourn their loss a wife and two brothers, P. C. Wilson of Centerville and Thos. of Colorado.

Mr. Wilson was a good husband, neighbor and citizen. During the last few weeks he has been a great sufferer. This suffering has been born with patience and fortitude. Although he had never identified himself with the church here, we have reason to believe that during the past few weeks he has yielded his heart to Christ believing in a risen and exalted Savior.

The funeral services were held at the Baptist church Tuesday at 2 P. M. Alfred Trenerry, assisted by Rev. Jas. Clark, had charge of the services. The remains were laid to rest in the Bonaparte Cemetery.
