Mrs. W.T. Wilson died Saturday afternoon at five o'clock, at their apartments in Hotel Wilson, funeral services being conducted by Rev. Alvie Johnson and interment being made in Spur cemetery at 5:30 Sunday afternoon.

Mrs. Wilson had been ill and an invalid for thirteen years, and no doubt death came as a relief to her at this time.

Mrs. Wilson was 46 years of age, being born in Cleburne, Johnson county, Texas, her maiden name being Cora Nelson. She was married to W.T. Wilson at Altus, OK., December 20, 1901. They came to Spur twenty years ago from Quitaque, and throughout the years have been among the best and most substantial citizens of the town and country. Surviving are the husband, W.T. Wilson, and two sons, Alvis and Norman Wilson. Her sisters and brothers were with her during her last illness and for the funeral were Mrs. A.D. Williams of Lubbock; R.L. Nelson of Lamesa; W.L. Nelson of Abilene; Aaron and Oscar Nelson of Crowell; N.T. Nelson of Eldorado, OK; Hugh Nelson of Alamagorda, NM.

Throughout her years of illness and invalidism, Mrs. Wilson was extended every consideration by members of the family, Mr. Wilson being most considerate and devoting his life to her care and comfort and he is recognized by his friends and those intimate with the family, as one of the kindest, most considerate and best men of the world.

The Texas Spur joins friends in extending sincere condolence to Mr. Wilson and sons in this hour of bereavement.
