MRS. MARY WILCOXSON

            Mrs. Mary A. Wilcoxson died at Fulda, Wash., Monday, May 3, aged 96 years.  Her sickness was Brights disease, and she had been a sufferer for some time but not been seriously sick for more than two weeks.
            Mr. and Mrs. Wilcoxson had lived at Fulda for about one year, and had lived at St. Johns, Oregon, for two years prior to that time.  They came to Oregon from Cleveland, Ohio, where they had resided for 25 years.  The husband who survives her had been in the employ of the Lake Shore Railroad in Ohio for 45 years, as engineer, thirty six years of that time on a passenger engine, and was fortunate enough to pass through that long service without a serious accident.  A man prominent in railroad work in Cleveland, Ohio, accompanied by his wife, arrived from the east about one week before the mother’s death.
            Mrs. Wilcoxson leaves a husband and three children of the immediate family to mourn the loss.  She was born in Bellevue, Ohio, and lived in that state almost all her life.  A son, Samuel M. Wilcoxson, of Cleveland, Ohio; a daughter, Mrs. Lola Esther Skelly, of Fulda, Wash.; a son, Franklin F. Wilcoxson, of Buffalo, N. Y.
            Rev. Sheldon Ewing, of Fulda, conducted the funeral services at the Gilmer Valley church.  Interment in Gilmer cemetery.  The body may be shipped to Ohio later.
            The family of Mrs. Mary Wilcoxson, deceased, desire to express their heartfelt gratitude to the friends and neighbors for their kindness in the sickness and death of the mother.
