FRANK WILSON.
Passed Away Tuesday Evening After Long Sickness

  After suffering for over a year from a complication of diseases, 
Frank Wilson, one of Tyrone's very best young men, passed away at the 
hospital at Hollidaysburg on Tuesday evening, at eight o'clock.  Mr. 
Wilson had consulted specialists in Philadelphia and other cities and 
for a time his condition was much better but this was only temporary, 
as he soon grew worse again and sank rapidly until the end came at the 
above time.  Frank Wilson had a host of friends in Tyrone who will 
regret to hear of his death, as he was held in high esteem by all who 
knew him.
  Deceased was a son of Alexander and Julia Wilson, and was born at 
Danville, Pa., January 1, 1880.  For some years he resided at the place 
of his birth, but for the last twenty years, his home had been in 
Tyrone, where he was employed as a clerk in the Pennsylvania railroad 
freight office on Fourteenth street, which position he filled faithful, 
efficient manner. A number of years ago Mr. Wilson became a member of 
the First Presbyterian church and since that time had devoted much time 
and talent to church work.  His life was thoroughly devoted to the 
Master's cause.  After joining the church he became affiliated with J. 
S. Coulter's class, known as "Mr. Coulter's Boys."  At the time of his 
death he was one of the officers of this organization.  He was also a 
member of the young people's Christian Endeavor society and of the 
Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip.  He was an active member of Good Will 
council No. 42, Junior Order United American Mechanics, Allegheny 
Gateway lodge No. 187, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; Tyrone 
Encampment, N. 279, I.O.O.F. and the Pennsylvania Railroad Relief 
association.
  On October 19, 1901, he was united in marriage to Miss Ruby 
Hildebrand.  He is survived by his wife, one son and one daughter, John 
and Ola, at home.  His parents also survive, with two brothers and one 
sister, Alexander, George and Miss Marian, all of Tyrone.
  The funeral will be held on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.  Services 
will be held at the home of Mrs. Wilson's father, John Hildebrand, on 
West Eighteenth street and will be conducted by Rev. Herbert W. Bieber, 
pastor of the Presbyterian church.  Interment in Charlottesville 
cemetery.
