DEATH OF MRS. WALTER B. WILSON.
The sudden and unexpected death OF
Mrs. Walter B. Wilson on last Friday
morning, June 8, 1910, at her home at Leb-
anon was q great shock to her family,
neighbors and friends. AS usual she arose
that morning and went about her dOmes-
tic duties, although complaining OF an in
tense pain in her head. About O'Clock
she went up stairs to lie down In quiet
away from the noise OF down stairs. In
few minutes Mr.. Wilson came IN and In
search Of something he was looking for
went up stairs and found his wife leaning
In one corner Of the room unconscious, he
Immediately laid her on the bed, called In
helo and summoned Drs. L. T. and James
Hill who were at her bedside In short
time, but the death angel had laid his Icy
touch upon her, as she never aroused to
consciousness again, but about II o'clock
her gentle spirit winged its way into the
great beyond. The deceased has been q
great sufferer for number OF years with
severe headaches, but amid all her long
period OF suffering she bore up with great
{ortitude and meek submission. Mrs. VIII
son was a woman OF quiet and gentle
DISPOSITION, rather reserved; she was q
kind and true friend, fond and indulgent
mother and faithful and aflectionate wife.
She was q jealous member OF Lebanon
Presbyterian Church and willing worker
in all Its interests. She was member Of
the Ladies Aid Society as we'll as OF the
choir. In all Of these places she will be
greatly missed.
She was a daughter Of Mrs. M. L. Wat
son OF this city, who with four sisters sur
yiye her. The funeral services were con-
Quoted Saturday at o'clock by her pastor,
Rev. J. b. Hillhouse, at Lebanon church
where an unusually large congregation as
sembled to witness the last sad rites OF
their departed and most highly esteemed
friend. Her remains were laid to rest In
the Lebanon cemetery besides loved ones
gone before. A profusion OF lovely flowers
made beautiful her last resting place
placed upon her bier by gentle hands as
tributes Of love and esteem.
The grief stricken husband and five dear
little children with mother and sisters
have the heartfelt sympathy OF many
friends.
