4 Dickinson people were saddened Tues
day evening when il was learned that
George. the 16-years' -old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Wilson, had passed to another
world at 10 80 O'Clock. For the last two
days no hopes for his recovery had been
entertained and he suffered patiently,
waiting for the final call. He passed
away peacefully, realizing everything
until few minutes before he breathed
his last.
! A week ago last Monday, George was
taken down with pneumonia, which a
few days later was complicated with
kidney and stomach trouble. On Sun
day he told his parents that he felt sure
he could not recover.
