Morton, received, telegram, from his son Mr. M. W, Morton Vancouver, B. C. in- forming him that Mr. Benj. Willson, a 'former respected resident Of Wing - ham had died suddenly in that city. Mr. 'Willson, who was born In Lon- don Township, came to Winghain in the early seventies and for a time en- gaged in mercantile business, Soon afterwards he established, a *private bank here which he conducted for some years, when he was appointed manager of the Bank of Hainilton here. and, he continued in the employ of that bank until the end. , -- Daea:seriiiai a' • most highly es- teemed man of a kindly disposition •and probably did more for the ad- vancement of the town of Wingham than any other citizen ever did, He built the residence later owzied by Robert Knox and kept a large lawn and boulevards which has since been sold to the Government arid where now 'stands the Wingham. 'Post Of- fice. His father -the late Crowell Wilt- on ex -M. P, for North Middlesex was one of the men who had a great deal to do with the erection of the resent St Peels Church. The late Benjamin Wilson was reeve of Tern- erry in 1872 and 1873 before Wing - lam was incorporated as a village nd continued to be the first reeve of he village in 1874aaarallagjoury _years In 1879 Wing -ham was Incorporated s a town and Benjamin 'Willson was honored by being elected the 'first Mayor. He was a past master of Wingham badge A. F. SE A. M. and a Past Z of the Chapter, Mr. WilS on's first wife was a aughter of the late Se'xtus Kent and he predeceased him some year ago. Two sons survive viz: Crowell and obert both living in British Colima - la. His second wife was the widow f the:late Da-vid Glass of London. Everyone whom have heard men - ion the late Benjamin Wilson have ad nothing but the very 'kindest •ords to say of hirtao.
