The LaFayette Sun August 7, 1907

Mr. Len Wilson Dies in North Carolina
	A telegram was received here last Friday conveying the sad news of the 
death of Mr. Len Wilson. His death occurred at Ashville, N.C., Thursday night 
at 9 o’clock. Accompanied by his wife and brother, Mr. Wilson had gone to 
Ashville in the hopes that the change of climate would benefit him, and his 
many friends were shocked to learn of his death. the remains were carried to 
Chapel Hill Friday, and laid to rest in the family burying ground at that 
place. 
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. C. Francis, pastor of the 
Methodist church at Five Points.
From another place in the August 7, 1907 issue of The LaFayette Sun:
Chiggerville - The remains of Mr. Len Wilson, who died in North Carolina last 
week, reached Chapel Hill, his home, last Friday, and were interred in the 
burying ground on Saturday following. Mr. Wilson had been on the road for quite 
a number of years as a commercial drummer, and was one of the most popular and 
widely known men on the road. He was genial, clever and accommodating, and his 
sad death was quite a shock to his host of friends and relatives. We 
extend heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family.
(Per “Survey of Cemeteries in Chambers County, Alabama” (addendum) there is a 
tombstone in the “Dorman Cemetery” that reads:  “W. L. Wilson, Jr., May 29, 
1854 – Aug. 1, 1907”.
