WILLIS C. WILSON DIED SUDDENLY ON THURSDAY
Willis C. Wilson, fell dead at his home on Lisbon street at nine o’clock 
Thursday morning. He had eaten breakfast, apparently as well as usual and was 
dressing to go to Youngstown, having his trousers part way on when he suddenly 
collapsed and was dead when his wife reached his side. Death was due to heart 
failure although for some time he had been troubled with high blood pressure.

Wilson, but most of his life was spent in Canfield, the family coming here

of the commercial department of the North-Eastern Ohio Normal College.

Canfield townships. Later he opened a meat market in Canfield which he 
successfully conducted several years, then becoming the first rural mail 
carrier on route No. 2 out of the local post office, serving more than 15 
years. For a considerable time he was field representative of the Dispatch. In 
recent years he was in the insurance business and engaged in the preparation 
of legal documents. Mr. Wilson was twice married, his first wife being Miss 
Sadie Beardsley, who died in 1909, leaving three children. Wilbur died some 
years ago. Survivors are Earl Wilson, Akron, and Mrs. Clarence Webber,
