chas. Wilson Dead.

Rumor has it that Chas. Wilson,
who formerly kept the store in the
building now occupied by the bakery,
has died. Mr.. Wilson left this city
acout three years ago and has spent
most of his time since then in Red
Wing.
Chas. Wilson was one of the oldest
settlers of Stevens County, having
come here over twenty years ago
He was engaged as farmer and also
run general merchandise and later a
clothing store here. He left here
about three years ago, going first to
Detroit, this state, and later to Red
Wing, his old home. He was in this
city about three weeks ago apparently
in good heath, though nearly 6Oyears
of age. He leaves two brothers in
this county, Andrew Wilson and
Frank Wilson, both farmers in the
town of Rendsville.
Mr.. Wilson's death will be lamented
be many friends in this county, who
will extend sympathies to his wife
and children.
