Edwin S. Wilson. - The death of Mr. Edwin S. Wilson, of Gueydan, occurred at the 
sanitarium in Crowley last Saturday night May 6th, at 8:45 o'clock from typhoid 
fever and other complications which set in afterwards.

Mr. Wilson was born February 16th, 1876.

The funeral services were held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Summers, 
of this city, at which a very large gathering was present to pay their last 
tribute to deceased friend. After the services at the residence the remains were 
conveyed to the new Masonic cemetery, followed by an exceptionally large 
procession, where they were laid to rest.

Mr. Wilson was a valued and trustworthy employs of the United Irrigation and 
Rice Milling Co., who operate irrigation canals, etc., and Mr. Wilson was in

He had a large following of friends and was liked by every one who knew him. We 
join with the many others in extending to the bereaved family our sincere
