Ermentrout - William Wilson
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday 9 Dec 1898
William Wilson Ermantrout was born in Montgomery County, Indiana, July 2, 1869, and died Dec. 6, 1898, at the age of 29 years, 5 months and 4 days. Thus in the prime of his manhood this, our son, brother, friend has gone from us, leaving a vacancy which cannot be filled.
Will was a most obedient, kind, affectionate son, a loyal friend, honest and true in all the relations of life, always concerned about the welfare and happiness of others more than his own. Of how many of us can this be truthfully said? Good bye, loved one, good bye. We hope to meet again in that bright “land of the __,” where good byes are never said.
