Obituary - Sentinel (Rochester, Indiana) - Tue, Feb. 2, 1937
John F. Wilson, aged 90 years, 8 months and 25 days, a pioneer citizen of
Union township passed away Monday afternoon [February 1, 1937] at 2:35 o'clock
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jennie Henderson, of Kewanna. Death resulted
from complications following an illness of over two years' duration.
Mr. Wilson was one of the most widely known and highly respected citizens
of Fulton county and leaves a host of friends in Fulton, Cass and Pulaski
counties. For a long term of years he was an instructor in the Union township
schools and also was engaged in farming interests in that locality. He retired
from active business duties about ten years ago.
John F., son of Thomas and Agnes Wallace Wilson, was born in Union
township, Fulton county, Indiana on May 7th, 1846. He was a resident of that
community throughout his entire life.
On December 28th, 1871 he was united in marriage to Martha HORN. One son,
Charles H. WILSON, of Oak Park, Ill., was born to this union. Mrs. Wilson
preceded him in death 61 years ago. Mr. Wilson and Emma CARTER were united in
wedlock on December 20th, 1877.
The deceased was a member of the Kewanna Methodist church and the I.O.O.F.
lodge. He was a member of the fraternal organization for over 61 years.
It was learned that Mr. Wilson attempted to enlist in a volunteer infantry
during the early days of the Civil war but a fractured leg injury which also
tore away a large portion of the calf of his leg prevented his acceptance for
duty.
The survivors are the widow, and the following children: Mrs. Margaret
Harrington, of Mishawaka, Mrs. Jennie Henderson, Mrs. Nellie Wilson, Hugh
Wilson, all of Kewanna; Charles H. Wilson, of Oak Park, Ill.; Bert Wilson, of
Elwood, Ind.; Mrs. Anna D. Martin, of Winter Haven, Fla., and Miss Agnes Wilson,
of Washington, D.C. A son, Thomas Wilson, preceded in death.
Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon. Complete details of the
rites however, had not been completed as this issue of The News-Sentinel went to press.
