He had a good tenor voice and led the choir in the old Third church for a number of years. After his removal to Humphrey street he took 8 deep interest in the Humph- rey Street Congregational church, to- wards the establishment and main tenance of which, as well as towards the erection of it's house of worship, he had contributed with no stinting hand.

Wilson, and Charles Henry and Florice, children of MT. and Mrs. Clarence P. Wilson. His surviv- ing son, Clarence P. Wilson, has been in partnership with him up to his de- cease, the firm being Charles Wilson X O.. with offices in the First National bank building.
