LUCY AND WILLIAM WILSON
---The bodies of Mrs. Lucy Wilson and her son, William Wilson, of Denver, Colorado, were transferred here from the Santa Fe to the Wabash this morning and were taken to Kirksville where they will be laid to rest in the same grave.
---William Wilson had been in poor health for some time and went to Colorado thinking that the climate would be beneficial and was accompanied by his mother. Some weeks ago his mother was operated on for appendicitis and was gradually recovering when the news of her son's death, which occurred Saturday morning at 2:30, reached her. The shock was too great and she too passed away Sunday morning.
---Wilbur Huston went to Denver and accompained the remains as far as La Plata.
---Mr. Wilson leaves a son about eleven years of age. Mrs. Wilson was a sister-in-law of Mrs. J.D. Huston of this city and for a number of years made her home here.
