HENRY WILSON

  Henry Wilson, aged 71, a native of Scotland, but who came with his parents to 
America when only a child, died Friday, March 8, 1940, at 3:20 a.m., in one of 
the hospitals in Detroit, Mich., where he had resided and worked in the 
automobile industry for a number of years after leaving Lonaconing, Md., where 
they located after arriving here from Scotland, and where they were engaged in 
coal mining.
  He was united in marriage with Mary Percy, a native of Lonaconing, Md., who, 
with a son, Forrest Wilson, and an adopted daughter, all of Detroit, survive.  
Three sons died in close succession several years ago.
  Of a family of 15 brothers and sisters, only three survive - Mrs. Janet 
Hanson, of Lewistown, Montana; John Wilson, of Detroit, and Councilman James L. 
Wilson, of Meyersdale.  The latter was notified of his brother's death and left 
immediately Saturday morning on the Detroit Special over the B. & O., to attend 
the funeral, which was held Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, returning home 
this (Thursday) morning.
