WILEMAN, GEORGE T.
(6 Jan 1910, Erick Altruist, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
The people of this community were shocked as the news spread last New
Years morning that George T. Wileman who lived about six miles southeast
of Erick had died at his home Dec. 31st, 1909, after an illness of short
duration.  His sturdy constitution enabled him to continue active in his
accustomed pursuits until a few days before his death and because of this
the news of his death was more shocking to his wide circle of
acquaintances all of whom were his friends.
Deceased was 55 years, 3 months and 23 days old at the time of his death.
He became a Christian when he was 12 years old and maintained unswerving
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as his redeemer.
He was invariably a good neighbor and his best monument will be the good
report he has left behind him in the community in which he lived.
He was a man of fine social qualities of splendid character and
unimpeachable integrity.
Mr. Wileman was born in Coffey county, Tenn., removed to southwestern
Missouri in childhood and from there to this county about eight years ago.
He is survived by his widow Mrs. Lizzie Wileman and two brothers, Mesers
James M. of Erick and Joseph H. Wileman, who lives about five miles South
of this place.  Interment was made at Erick cemetery New Year's Day in a
grave beside that of his father, who died less than one year ago.  Rev.
Wagner, pastor of the Pentacostal church of the Nazarene preached the
funeral sermon.
The people of this community all of whom knew, respected and loved George
Wileman most deeply sympathize with his bereaved relatives in this loss of
a devoted husband and faithful brother and considerate uncle.
