arthur s. Wilson.

This community was greatly
shocked and panied to learn Friday
that one of our highly esteemed citi-
zens, Arthur S. Wilson had passed
away. A sickness lasting less than
four days led him quickly down from
strong healthy life to the mysteri-
Gus step of death.
On Monday. Dec. 26th he did a hard
days work. In the evening he
complained Of pain in his stomach.
Finding no relief from home remedies
that were applied a physicia an was
called. His condition grew rapidly
worse, and it was evident that only
an operation would bring relief. Prep
arations were made to have this done
Friday afternoon. The surgeon, DR..
Guild Of Hanover, N. H., arrived Fri
day noon. 1t was too late. he passed
on into rest and life not far from
noon On Friday last. Arthur S. Will
son was born in Bloomington, Jan.
IA, 1861. But he liveh in the town of
Barton thirty-seven years. He lived
on the farm which he owned on the
Evansville road for thirty years.
Seven years ago he purchased a home
on High street and with his family
lived here ever since. Mr.. Wilson
was an upright, respected C, tlZen, a
kind, obliging neighbor, a faithful
son, loving devoted husband and
father, and Christian. The family
which needed him so much consists Of
his aged father, blind and quite help
less, the widow and two children, a
daughter and a son. The daughter
! Ernestine is II, the son Raymond is
"A. One brother Oscar F.. a sister,
Mrs. Milton Heath of this place,
are also left to mourn his death.
The funeral services which were held
Sunday afternoon at the home were
conducted by the pastor, Rev. w. A.
Warner. A large number attended.
The remains were laid to rest in Bar
! ton cemetery. The family have the
memory Of beautiful life, the SYM
pathy Of a large circle of friends and
the help that cometh from God, to
sustain and comfort them.
