Very Rev. J. Milton Richardson, Dean of the Episcopal Cathedral in Houston,

Since 1907 Mr. Wilbur had resided in Chicago where he was associated with the
real estate business, being connected with Baird and Warner for the past 25
years. He was vestryman and junior warden at the Episcopal Church of the
Atonement in Chicago until moving to Evanston where he became a member of St.
Mark's church.

As a lieutenant during World War I, he was a member of former President Wilson's
guard at the Versailles Peace Conference. He was a 32nd degree Mason and a
member of the Medinah Temple of the Shrine.

Surviving are his wife, Helen; a sister, Mrs. Wilbur A. Cline and a niece, Miss
