From the historical files of June E. Tuck

W. C. "Dock" Wilson, born at Westford, Marshall Co., Missipippi, April
18, 1844, died at his home in Sulphur Springs, March 17, 1929. He was in
unusual good health, except for having felt a little bad during the day.
He had gone out in the yard and, stooping over to pick up a stick of
wood, fell over and died almost instantly. When the call to arms came he
joined Co. D, 34 Mississippi Infantry and served with honor through the
Great War. He moved to Hopkins County about sixty years ago where he has
since lived and made a good and honorable citizen. He is survived by his
wife, Mrs. Mary T. Wilson, one son, Willie H. Wilson of Seminole,
Oklahoma; and four daughters, viz., Mrs. Levi Thomas, Sulphur Springs;
Mrs. R.S. Cade, Clovis, New Mexico; Mrs. Willie Glenn and Mrs. Jack
Williams, Arizona. Funeral services were held in the Myra Wilson Chapel
with burial in the City Cemetery. (Resolutions were also given by the
Matt Ashcroft Camp U.C.V., which was a repeat of the obituary)
