Wilson, Cassius M. - 1895

The community of Strattanville was startled Thursday last by the announcement of the death of Cassius M. Wilson, eldest son of Mr. Stewart Wilson, of that place which occurred Thursday, January 10th.

The deceased had been troubled some with rheumatism a week or more prior to his death but not really ill. A few days before his death he suffered an attack of acute pneumonia which resulted fatally.

He was aged about 48 years and was single, but leaves a wide circle of relatives who mourn his sudden demise. The funeral took place last Saturday, Rev. L. J. Shoemaker of Clarion, officiating, and the remains were interred in the Strattanville cemetery.
