Death of Louis ID. Wilson.

We are deeply panied to have TO announce tie
death OF Colonel Louis d. Wilson, of Edgecomb
County. He died at Vera Cruz. on theat2th~o ct
last month, after brief Illness of the yellow fever.
Is Col Wilson entered HE Legislature Of North
Carolina in 1917 and ever since that period he
hhd been actively engaged in lhe public service.
In 1885 he was aniember Of the Cong gentioh which
revised the Constitution Of North Carolina, and
in that body he Distinguished as in the Legis-
latdfe, for his patriotism and the soundness of his
views!:L At home in the Great County of Edge
comb, identified as he was with nearly all the
public business Of the people, and taking the i've
liest interest in their welfare, he drew to himself
the affections and the confidence OF all, and per-
formed, during the course ofa long life spent in
their midst, many important and valuable services
During the last Legislature, when d cali had
been made by the President upon North Carolina
for Regiment Of troops, to be sent forward to
Mexico, Col Wilson resigned his seat as Senator,
repaired to Edgecomb and assisted In raising Two
Companies, otone of which he was unanimously
electcd Captain. Soon after he left withthe Regi-
ment for the Rio Grande, but while in niMeXico,
under the command of Gen. Taylor he was 2ap-
pointed by the President 10 the office of Colonel
in the 12the Infantry, (which appointment he ac-
copied; and he was on his 2way to j6in the con-
qNering fag Of General Scott. and was 10 have
commanded the troops that left Vera Cruz on the
.7th Of August under Major Lqlly, when he was
seized with the fever and his existence terminated
BY the death Of Col. Wilson the army has lost
an able and chivalrous officer, society an accom-
piished gentleman and the State most useful and
patriotic citizen. Peace TO his ashes and lasting
honors to his mcmory!: E.yE en- ."a' -
