George W. Wilson, one of Sparta’s few Civil War veterans, died at his home on West Third Street at 3:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon of diseases incident to old age. He had been in feeble health for some time and began to grow gradually weaker a week ago. He was aged 89 years 6 months & 22 days.
Funeral services will be conducted at the residence at 2 o’clock, Friday afternoon, by Rev. James Cameron Murdoch, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, of which the deceased was a member. Interment will be made in Union Cemetery south of Sparta.
For about 58 years, Mr. Wilson had been one of the community’s most prominent residents. He was born in Jackson county on Sept. 3, 1846 and enlisted in CO. F., 154th Inf., while living in that county. On Oct. 23, 1866, son after the close of the war, he was married to Miss Lucretia McLaughlin at her home in the south part of Randolph county. They resided on a farm in Jackson county for 6 years, but in 1872 moved to the farm south of Sparta, now occupied by Arthur Weber. They remained there until 20 years ago, when they moved to Sparta. Mrs. Wilson died at the family home here on Sept. 8, 1926 just a few days before she was to celebrate her 60th wedding anniversary. To Mr. & Mrs. Wilson were born 11 children, four of whom are deceased.
Surviving are four sons, Henry Wilson of Wells, Neb.; Waldo & Don of Milwaukee, WI.; & Logan of St. Louis, and three daughters, Mrs. Laura Davison of Shreveport, LA., Mrs. George Chambers & Mrs. Steve Candler of Sparta.
