  	1896, Friday August 21, The Almonte Gazette page 4 ?b?DEATHS?/b? At Appleton, Aug 15th, George Wilson, aged 79 years. 1896, Friday August 21, The Almonte Gazette page 8 ?b?The Late George Wilson?/b? The Appleton correspondent of the Herald says: The funeral of the late George Wilson, who died on Saturday evening, aged 79 years, took place yesterday to the 8th line cemetery, and was a large and representative one. The deceased was born in Yorkshire, England, and emigrated with his parents in 1837, landing in Montreal during the rebellion, when Mr Wilson did duty for some time as a soldier. Two years later they moved to Ottawa, and the family settled at Long Island, near Manotick. When Mr Wilson married he settled in Ottawa, then only a village, and lived there until 1885, when they moved to this place. His wife died here about seven years ago, and since then he has lived with his daughter, Mrs A. Wilson, jr. Although in his 79th year, he has three brothers and four sisters living: Wm Wilson, Manotick; Wardell D., Ottawa, and Rev R. Wilson, Parkdale. The sisters are Mrs Henderson and Mrs Langford, Toronto; Mrs Jennings, Ottawa; and Mrs McKnight, Almonte. The family living are John R., in Vermont; Thomas, in Nebraska; George J., in Ottawa; Mrs Wilson, here; Mrs Askwith, Ottawa; and Mrs R. Baird, Pilot Mound. Thus, one by one, the old settlers are going, and soon there will be none to tell how the first settlers cleared the land and the many trials they had to endure. The pallbearers were Messrs A. Wilson, sr., D. Stewart, Thos Arthur, Jno Baird, Wm Edwards and Wm Struthers.
