Ira Wilson, 84, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mary Font, King street, 
Sunday afternoon of the infirmities of old age.  Funeral services will be 
conducted from the home of Mrs. Font Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 and at the 
I.H.A. mission at 2 o’clock.  Rev. John Youngs will be in charge.  Burial will

Mr. Wilson was a native of St. Clair county.  In 1861 he and his two brothers, 
William and Alfred, enlisted in the 22d Michigan and were mustered out at 
Pontiac.  Ira and Alfred were discharged at the close of the war, Alfred dying 
at Barryton five years ago, and William lost his life in the Battle of 
Chickamauga.

At the close of the war Mr. Wilson located in Ronald township and had made his 
home there, but spent the past 15 winters with another daughter, Mrs. Agnes 
Calkins, in Los Angeles, Cal.  Besides the two daughters, a sister, Mrs. Nora 
Gilmore, and a brother, Otis Wilson, both of Ronald, survive, besides four 
grandchildren.
