JUDGE WILSON PASSES AWAY

At An Advanced Age This Pioneer Joins the Choir Invisible

After a lingering illness of several months Judge Wilson passed quietly away 
at his home on West Boulevard on Monday morning, August 4th 1919 at the age of 
81 years, 7 months, and 9 days.

The Subject of this sketch, George W. Wilson, was born at Watseca, Illinois, 
Christmas day in 1837. In 1861 he was married to Sarah John and the union was 
blessed with the coming of nine children, six of whom survive. Alex Wilson, of 
Payette; Sidney Wilson and Mrs. George Young of Albion, Neb.; Mrs. Flora 
Fitzsimmons, of Spaulding, Neb; Frank Wilson of Watseca, Ill. and Mrs. Anna 
Vliet of Roseville, Ill.

In 1903 Judge Wilson and his wife came to New Plymouth where they built a new 
house on the farm now owned by Karl Hartman. Mrs. Wilson only lived to enjoy 
the same for about a year dying in 1905 and her was taken back to Woodland, 
Ill. where it was laid to rest and now the remains of her husband are enroute 
to find a last resting place by her side.

In 1907, on March 5th Mr. Wilson was united in marriage to Mrs. Elizabeth 
Ringer, in New Plymouth and the union was one of the happest this side of 
Paradise. They were one and inseparable, and all that loving hands could do, 
was done by Mrs. Wilson during the life and death of her dear one. She left 
this week with the body for interment in Ill. and will return in about three 
weeks. Judge Wilson was a member of the A.F. and A. M. and was a constituent 
member of the New Plymouth Baptist church. Brief funeral services were held on 
the lawn Tuesday afternoon conducted by the pastor Rev. Ford Burch.

Judge Wilson was one of God's noblemen. He was not puffed up by honor, nor a 
fair weather man to those who gained his friendship. He was a man of the 
highest sense of honor, disclaimed sham, hypocrisy and fraud. He was of a 
happy disposition, and made everybody happy around him. He died as he lived, 
with a smile on his face and a circle of gold around his heart. He was born 
crying, while those around him smiled - he did smiling, while those around him 
wept. Fairwell, true friend, we hope to find the same triumphal ending when 
our time shall come.
