It was with surprise and regret that news of the death of Mr Geo Wilson at Indian Head, Sask, was heard in town on Thursday last, Mr Wilson went west a couple of years ago, and had enjoyed good health when he was taken ill with pneumonia. Paralysis followed and he passed away on Thursday, November 12th. Mr Wilson was born in 1835 on the 12th concession of Lanark township, a son of the late Thos Wilson. When he had grown to young manhood he served an apprenticeship with Mr Thos Leckie, general merchant, at Leckie's Corners. Afterwards he embarked in business on his own account in the old building that now stands at the foot of Mill street. later he disposed of his interest therein and entered into partnership with Mr Robt Brown of Pakenham and they opened up in Arnprior under the name of Brown & Wilson. Some years later Mr Brown retired from the Arnprior branch and Mr Wilson formed a partnership with Mr Jas Hartney and as Wilson & Hartney they carried on business in the building known as the Arcade. In the early eighties Mr Wilson went to Winnipeg, where he carried on business as a retail dry goods merchant for about three years. He then returned to Almonte, where he again entered upon business which he conducted until about 1900 when he retired from active business, and enjoyed a respite from a busy life until he went west about two years ago. On February 28, 1871, he was married to Mary Cecilia Patterson, daughter of the late John Patterson, J.P., who was an old and respected resident of Almonte. To them five children were born, of whom two sons and two daughters survive. These are Mrs A.C. Wylie of Almonte, and Miss Dorothea Wilson and Mr Harry Wilson, barrister, of Indian Head, Sask, and Mr Jack Wilson, of the staff of the Union Bank of Canada at Edmonton, Alta. The remains of the late Mr Wilson were brought to Almonte, accompanied by Mrs Wilson and Mr Harry Wilson, and the funeral took place from the home of Mr A.C. Wylie on Tuesday to the eighth line cemetery, and was a tribute of respect to one who had been a prominent figure in business circles and a citizen who enjoyed the esteem of his fellows.
