WILSON.
The remains of Miss Mary Wilson second daughter of the late John Wilson, were brought to Decorah and buried in the Catholic cemetery on Friday morning of last week. For a number of years Miss Wilson has resided at Alexandria, S. D., where she was house keeper for Monseigneur Lawler, a pioneer Catholic clergyman who was quite widely known both in Iowa and South Dakota. A little over a year ago Miss Wilson was afflicted with rheumatism which later was complicated with heart disease and finally terminated in Bright’s disease of which she died. Those who enjoyed an intimate acquaintance with her speak of her as a most estimable woman. She leaves a number of brothers and sisters to mourn her death.
