Death Results From Revolver Wound In The Head While At His Home Near Winnetoon
After having eaten his supper Saturday evening Wilbur Anderson mentioned to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul P. Anderson, that he wasn't feeling well and thereupon was urged by his parents to retire. He thereafter first assisted in doing chores and then retired to his bed chamber and soon thereafter a pistol report was heard from the pistol shot of a .38 caliber revolver.
Wilbur Anderson was born on the farm near Winnetoon, July 24, 1905 and resided with his parents his entire lifetime, being a young man of exemplary character and of great assistance to his parents at all times, doing farm work regularly, thoroughly and with no reluctance. His total age was 25 years, 9 months and 15 days.
Seldom does it occur that fate decrees the unseemly tragedy of death as in this instance as the family ties were strongly wrought in kindness and a thorough sincerity existed in the welfare of one for the other. The perversity of fate was apparently a mandate and such decree was obeyed.
Doubly difficult is it for the parents of Wilbur Anderson, who anticipated life's expectancy for their son and these same parents labored not for themselves alone but for their son's success to become their cherished achievement.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Methodist church in Winnetoon, services being conducted by Rev. Wm. E. Wilson. Interment was made in the Winnetoon cemetery.
Besides his parents, he leaves to mourn his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. T.A. Thompson of Winnetoon.
Many were the friends of the family who attended the funeral and these friends together with the number of floral tributes were the guiding evidences of sincerity of purpost and thought in expressing final sympathy to the family who mourn the loss of a loved one.
