Wilson - John - 1894 - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

This morning about 10:30 o’clock, John Wilson, one of the oldest and most prominent citizens of Waynetown, received a sudden summons from life to death. He had been suffering slightly for two or three days with the grip but was in fair health and went about his business. He went to his store as usual this morning and was attending to his customary duties. About half past ten he started to go out the front door, and suddenly fell back fainting. He was at once placed in a sleigh and taken to his home but was dead when he arrived.  The deceased was engaged in the grocery business at Waynetown and had been for a number of years. He was a member of the Baptist Church and the oldest member of the Waynetown Masonic Lodge. He was between sixty and seventy years old.
