The
Late John E. Wilson
There died at his home on
the Gravel Road, four miles west of Simcoe, on Wednesday,
3 Nov 1920, Mr. John E. Wilson, in his 84th year, after a short
illness.
Mr. Wilson was a son of a
pioneer of Norfolk, being born on the same farm on which he died,
he having seen the Gravel Road change from a deer trail to a plank
road, then to the gravel road of which it is today, and very few
in the county did not know the familiar faces of Uncle John and
Aunt Lucy.
Deceased leaves to mourn
his loss a wife, one son, Alvin, and a daughter, Mrs. Ashton Munn
of Windham Centre.
The remains were laid to
rest in Salem on Friday and many extend to the bereaved sympathy
in the loss of a kind husband and father.
