DIES WHILES
RETIRING
JOHN WILSON, WELL KNOWN OT-
TUMWAN, DISCOVERED DEAD
IN BED THIS MORNING
From Monday's Daily.
John Wilson, aged 77 years, for tho
past twenty-nine years a highly re
spected citizen of Ottumwa, was
found dead In bed this morning about
6:30 o'clock by R. J. Lowne, at whose
home, 423 East Second street, Mr.
Wilson had resided since his coming
to the city. It is supposed his death
occurred about midnight from heart
trouble.
The funeral services will be held
some time Wednesday from the Low

nounced later.
Born in Scotland.
Mr. Wilson was born in Kilmarnock,
Ayrshire, Scotland, June 12, 1S29. He
came to Ottumwa in 1878 from New
York and entered into the butter ami
egg business with Mr. Lowrie. They
were associated together in this busi

LOCATION FOR THIS YEARLY
EVENT OF THE PACKING HOUSE
EMPLOYES UNDECIDED
Communications Have Been Sent to
Davenport, Muscatine, Fairfield,
Cedar Rapids, Mt. Pleasant and Ft.
Madison.
From Saturday's Daily.
The twelfth annual outing of the
Morrell employes, will be held on
Tuesday, July 16. This is the date
that was set by the picnic committee
yesterday. The place where the pic
nic is to be held l^a# not as yet bera
decided upon. The committee which
has charge of this year's outing haB
written to the mayors of' the follow
ing cities: Davenport, Muscatine,
Cedar Rapids, Fairfield, Mt. Pleasant
and Ft. Madison to find out wbat ar
rangements can be made to handle
the crowds. The members of the
committee are: Otto Schaub, George
List, George Alford, A. R. Brown and
W. B. Ramsell.
This annual event is looked for
ward to by the many employees of the
packing house from one year to an
other, with much happy anticipation.
It Is one of the biggest events of the
year for the packing house employes
and their, friends. Three to four
special trains are run on this day to
assemble the picnickers at the ap
pointed place of meeting. Last year

tenslfied. It was gentle boaBt at
one time that "every child in Canton
was her friend." Her husband shared
with her this characteristic.
She had a cool headed judiciousness
in judging the world that was a con
stant help to her husband. This fac
ulty was developed in her to a degre#
that made it almost impossible to de
ceive her in matters of character. Yet
this knowledge brought with it no
hardening of the face, no furrows in,
the brow. Mrs. McKlnley was tern-'1
peramentall/ inclined not to worry.
and this trait also she had developed
to a point that will always make her
remembered. Her patience was an in
spiration to those who witnessed It.
It added firmness to sweetness, pur
pose to tenderness, power behind at
traction. She was a woman who well
deserved to be the first lady of the
land, while at the same time she was
a wife such as would have brightened
her home wherever her fortune might
have been cast.
