On last Monday evening at 9:20 p.m.,
Mrs. Willie T. Wilson, wife of W.T. Wilson, a prominent citizen
of this community breathed her last.
Mrs. Wilson was born in Giles Co.,
Tenn., Oct. 30, 1855. She was married to William Thomas
Wilson, Jan 17, 1878 and to this union four children were born,
the eldest one having died in infancy.
Mrs. Wilson became a Christian when
she was eighteen years of age and since that time has been a
constant Christian character. She was a joy and refreshment
to all who came in contact with her, although confined to her
room for a month before her death, she constantly spread smiles
and sunshine, making those, who had the privilege of visiting
her feel they had received a great blessing for having gone.
She was truly loved by all who knew her.
She is survived by her husband and
three loyal children; Earl Wilson of Vernon and Misses Annie
and Stella Wilson of Bellevue.
The funeral services were conducted
Tuesday afternoon at the Baptist Church at 4 p.m. by Rev. W.W.
Rozell, the local pastor.
A large concourse of sympathizing
friends tendered their last respect to Mrs. Wilson by attending
the funeral.
The remains were laid to rest in
the Bellevue Cemetery.
The News extends sincere sympathy
to the loved ones in this, their sad bereavement.
