JOHN WILDE BURIED WEDNESDAY

Pioneer Citizen Passed Away Monday Morning After Lingering Illness.

John Wilde is dead. After a long illness, he passed to his reward early Monday morning. For many years he was an employee in the Northwestern yards in various capacities and his work was always well and faithfully performed. He was honest and square in all his dealings, and has a wide circle of friends who join in extending the bereaved relatives their sincere sympathy.
