submitted by Vicki W. Shaffer


  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.
