Mr. R.E. Wilson Dead

Robert Wilson, as we knew and loved him, died at two o’clock this (Tuesday) 
afternoon.  

We unlock our forms to make this brief announcement, which will carry sadness 
to many hearts.  

The sympathy of all is extended to the wife, who lost only a week ago their 
little daughter.  Hon. W.B. Wilson, the father, and his family, are also 
remembered with sympathy.

Editor, Butler Herald:

We hereby desire to express to our many friends in Butler and elsewhere, our 
heartfelt appreciation for the kindness and help so willingly offered and given 
to us during the long illness of our son and brother Robert E. Wilson.  We do 
not know how we would have kept our hearts and minds sustained as we did, had 
we not have had the oft repeated expressions of love and sympathy.

Yours in sorrow,

Funeral of Mr. R.E. Wilson Wednesday

Mr. Robert Wilson, who died last Tuesday and whose death was mentioned in last 
week’s issue of the Herald, was buried Wednesday afternoon, the funeral service 
was conducted from the residence, and was appropriately conducted by Rev. J.W. 
Heard, of Macon, witnessed by a large gathering of friends and loved ones of 
the town and county.

Mr. Wilson had lived in Butler from early childhood, and during his entire life 
among the people here, his conduct was such as to win and maintain the respect 
and full confidence of all with whom he came in contact.  He and Miss Bertha 
Salzer were married about two years ago, and to this union one child was born, 
a sweet little girl, who preceded her father to the Spirit world only a few 
days.

Judge Wilson, the father of Robert, and Miss Bertha, the wife and the entire 
family of loved ones have the full sympathy of a host of strong friends, who 
share with them their sorrow.

Mr. Wilson was just entering the prime of manhood and would have been 29 years 
old the 28th of next January, and his business tact had made quite competency 
of the world’s goods.  He had a nice home well furnished, pleasantly located, 
and it does seem so sad to have to give him up.  But not our will, but God’s be 
done.
