E. Morgan, who keenly feels the pangs of sorrow. He was the younger son of Col. Robt. S. Wilson of the 48th Highlanders and the late Mrs. WilaoQ, who pased to her reward a- bout five years ago. "Doug" appeared to .be a fine spec- imen of robust manhood, yet he was troubled with hig^fa 4^^ pressure which affected his hea^Bnsiderably. He was very economical^t generous, and took great pleasure in hunting and fishing and was a member of the High Falls Hunt Club of this local- ity. ^He was well liked by all whom he came in contact with. He was just in the prime of life; would have been 28 years old on Armistice Day, Nov- ember 11, 1927. »His hopes for <he future seemed bright as he had plan- ned to retire to some village when his income sufficed, in all probabil- ity Eugenia was the village he had in view. But his hopes were cut short when he suddenly collapsed at his desk on Tuesday evening and death occurred at his home at one c'c-lock on Wednesday morning, Oct. 12 th, although everything was done that could be done to restore the young life. He held the responsible position as treasurer of his father's firm, â€" the Canadian Interlocking Tile Co. He was a veteran of the Russian exped- ition, going at the age of 18, after his immature age had kept him from France. He was' well educated, hav- ing graduated from the Upper Can- ada College at 18. Last year he took a night course in stenography and this year he was taking up architect- ural designinfr. Many and beautiful were the floral tributes which witnessed high res- pect and love for the deceased. He is survived by his sorrowing father and one brother, Stuart of Detroit. Rev. Dr. G. C. Pidgeon officiated at the home on Fdday. Mr. W. E. Mor- gan and family attended the funeral. We extend our sympathy to those left in bereavement. He had a nature you could not help loving A heart that was purer than gold; And to those who knew him and loved him His memory will never grow cold. li' Wedding bells are ringing loudly; Pealing forth its merry strains.
