Topeka Commonwealth: The funeral
of John Wilson whose death has been
noted in this paper took place on Sun.
day. Services were held at the residence
of his son-in-law, II. E. Norton, in En-
poria. and the remains were brought "a
Topeka an the afternoon train. A laEge
number of his old friends met the re-
mains and MIR. and Ars. Norton and his
son, Sam. Wilson, at the depot and toll
lowed them to the cemetery. Rev. F. g.
McCabe officiated at the grave. but the
weather was too Indictment to admit of
extended services. The Doctor referred
feellngIy to Mr. Wilaon and spoke in the
highest terms of him, The body was
buried in the family lot of II. E. Nor
ton. where he has child buried and
where lie the remains of two OF
Mr.. Wilson's daughters, Mary and Sadie
(Mrs. Ben. Jenkins Mrs. Norton re-
sides at Emporia and Mrs. Kate
Rodgers in Ohio. Sadle's lit,
tie boy is with sister of
Mr.. Jenkins, twho is also dead in Mis-
souri,. Uncle John Wilson was one OF
natures noblemen if there is any such
thing in ihls world We could write
pages showing the noble traits in his
character, but it is unnecessary. AS a
sample of his sturdy independence, We
could cite the fact that ever since he
went to Emporis in 1873, lie has insisted
upon running small business and llv-
ing with his wife. ny themselves. He
did so until the daV of his death, al
though the house of Mr.. Norton was al
ways open to him. But Mr. Norton saw
to ii that his hills we're PAID when he
got behind and not day has passed for
a long time that either Mr.. or Mrs. Nor
ton did not see them and see that their
wants were supplied. 1t was his re-
quest to be laid by the side of Mary aud
Sadie in the Topeka oemetary.
