ONE FAMILIAR TO ALL is STRICKEN
Superintendent wilkins Passes Away in
a La Crosse hospital

Monday evening as the setting sun
cast its shadowy rays in the golden
west the mortal remains of Frederick
Wilkins were deposited with Mother
Earth, the simple ceremony of laying
away being private, performed by inti-
mate friends. His sufferings were over
at $3.50 Sunday morning. The remains

terry, where after prayer and Scripture
reading by Rev. Hartwell, the last
farewells were spoken.

La Crosse Lutheran hospital in hopes
of rebuilding from the nervous break
down he had suffered. His condition
grew rapidly worse and dissolution fol-
lowed. In his taking off Vernon county
sustains the distinctive loss of an eff
ficient and faithful servant, society an
intellifent member and an only sur
viving daughter an adorable parent.

man, man Of education. brains, energy,
congenial and kindly disposed to all
about him He was a likeable char
aeter, IN love win mis- chosen lie work
and true humanitarian.
Frederick Wilkins was tifty-eight
years of age, born in Worcestershire
county, England; a graduate from Ok
ford University. He came to this coun-
try in 1881, locating in Milwaukee,
where he conducted a pharmacy busi-
ness. later being elected county clerk,
following with a service as superin-
tendent of the Milwaukee county hos
pital for insane. Equipment and SUI
perb qualifications for this exacting
special work recommended him and his
noble and devoted wife to the trustees
of our asylum, and their services were
engaged in January, 1896, Mr. wilkins
r, naming continuously since as superin-
terdent with fidelity TO the county and
watchful interest for the unfortunate
wa ds committed to his supervision
