EDGAR WILSON DIES IN BOISE

Former Congressman Expires After Short Illness, Victim of Pneumonia

(From the Statesman)
While his wife, from whom he had been separated for more than a year was being 
called to the telephone at her home, Edgar Wilson, one of the first Idaho 
congressmen, died at 10 o'clock Sunday morning at his apartments in the Owyhee 
hotel. Acute pneumonia was given as the cause of death.

Mr. Wilson had been ill for several days, having contracted a heavy cold, but 
his condition was not regarded as serious until his physician called Sunday 
morning. Mr. Wilson's attorney, Frank Martin, was summoned by the doctor and 
when it was learned that Mrs. Wilson had not been notified of her husband's 
condition, Mr. Martin stepped to the telephone to inform her.

Mrs. Wilson reached the telephone as her husband expired. He had been 
unconscious for some time.

His estate is rated at around a hundred thousand dollars and is represented 
principally by bank stock. In addition there is a business building on Idaho 
Street and the family home.

Mr. Wilson leaves a widow and two children, Laura and Maurice Edgar. The later 
is at present with his father's mother and sister at Brooklyn, N.Y. Besides 
his mother, Mr. Wilson leaves a brother, Albert Wilson of Payette, and two 
sisters, Mrs. Handy of Denver, and Mrs. Howes of Brooklyn.
