WILSON of Green Spring, Dies after a Short Illness -- One of the most unexpected deaths that have occurred in the county for months was that of Wm. R. WILSON, the well known merchant at Green Spring, which occurred on Sunday last, about noon. On Saturday evening, he was in his store, although he was complaining, and said to some friends who were in the store that evening transacting some business with him, that he thought he was getting the grip. That evening he ate for supper some canned beans and about nine o'clock that night he was taken very ill, vomiting and was unconscious from the beginning. He grew worse during the night, and in the morning a telegram was sent to a doctor in Cumberland, no answer was received, so about eleven o'clock a telegram was sent to Dr. BRACE in the same city. He came down on No. 6, but WILSON had been dead for some time before the physician arrived. The trouble was pronounced by the physician as cholera morbus. Wm. R. WILSON was about thirty-five years of age, and leaves a young wife, and two small children, he having married several years ago, a Miss BENNINGTON, whose father was pastor of the Southern Methodist Church at Springfield. Deceased was a plain, manly and genial young man, with a host of friends, who were greatly shocked and grieved at the announcement of his death. He was a member of Clinton Lodge No. 86, AF and AM, of this place. His remains were brought to the home of his mother, at Springfield, on the morning train Monday and were interred about noon, funeral services being held in the Southern Methodist Church, conducted by Rev. Mr. GRILLBORTZER, Mr. MITCHELL being absent." - The Hampshire Review, 21 December 1898 "Springfield Letter -- Our town was shocked last Sunday to hear of the sudden death of W.R. WILSON at Green Spring. Mr. WILSON had many friends in Springfield and his bereaved family have our sympathy in their affliction." - The Hampshire Review, 21 December 1898 "W.R. WILSON, of Springfield District; merchant; son of Nathan and Mary WILSON; Irish ancestry; born at Piedmont, 1868; married 1893, Effie, daughter of Samuel and Eliza BENNINGTON, of Maryland; children, William R. and N.I.

He has had three separate strokes of paralysis within the past few days. A message from his physician, Dr. KIRK, at Springfield, Tuesday morning, stated that his condition was very precarious and that he was liable to die at any time." - The Hampshire Review, 25 October 1911 "John O. WILSON -- J.O. WILSON, of Green Spring, whose critical illness was noted in the last issue of the REVIEW, died about 2 o'clock last Tuesday. Funeral services were held Thursday morning at the late home of the deceased, after which interment was made in the cemetery at Springfield. Revs. H.L. MYERLY and I.G. MICHAEL officiated. Mr. WILSON was a member of the Cumberland lodge of Odd Fellows, and a delegation from there attended the funeral." - The Hampshire Review, 01 November 1911 " To the Public -- The WILSON Hotel at Green Spring, W.Va., having been closed during the illness and death of my husband I desire to say will open to the public again on Wednesday Nov. 1st, 1911.

WILSON, who died at his home in Green Spring last Tuesday were interred here Thursday morning, funeral services having been conducted at Green Spring." - The Hampshire Review, 01 November 1911 "Obituary -- Green Spring, W.Va., Oct. 30 -- In the death of Jno. O. WILSON at this place on the 24th, the community sustained a great loss. About 21 months ago Mr. WILSON had a stroke of paralysis and was extremely ill for several months. Since that time however while still a sufferer he had improved so much as to be around the home and move around some little among his friends. On Friday the 20th, he seemed unusually well and remarked to his wife he "believed he would soon be well." On Saturday morning at 5:30 when his wife rose she conversed with him and left him to rest as he always did until the family breakfast at 7 o'clock. At that hour she went to call him and found he had sustained another stroke and was extremely ill. Dr. KIRK was summoned from Springfield at once and all that loving hands and medical skill could do was done, but he gradually grew worse and on Monday afternoon lapsed into unconsciousness from which he never rallied and at 1:45 on Tuesday afternoon God called this kind tender loving husband and father, this honorable noble benevolent soul to Himself. While not a member of any church he was converted in the M.E. Church, South, four years ago, and his noble unselfish pure moral life would put to shame the lives of many whose names appear on church records. He was a great sufferer but bore it uncomplainingly. During his last illness when he would have a lucid interval his wife or the doctor would ask how he was, he would invariably reply "I am all right." So now we know him to be "all right". Safe at home with God whom he reverenced and loved. He was married several years ago to his brother Will's widow, a daughter of Rev. S.D. BENNINGTON, of the M.E. Church, South. She, with four small children and his aged mother, survive him. The funeral, under the auspices of Clinton Lodge, A.F.A.M., Romney, W.Va., and Chapel Hill Lodge, I.O.O.F., Cumberland, Md., to which lodges he belonged, was held Thursday morning from his late home. The active pall bearers were Masons and Odd Fellows, the honorary his friends, R.M. WASHINGTON, J.J. CORNWELL, R.J. RUCKMAN and Robert WHITE, of Romney; N.B. GUTHRIE, Dr. KIRK, of Springfield, and J.M. PROCTOR and A.B. TAYLOR, of Green Spring. Religious services conducted by Revs. H.L. MYERLY and I.G. MICHAEL, of the M.E. Church, South.

Springfield Hill Cemetery, Springfield, WV "Obituary - Chas. Thomas SHANNON, son of James SHANNON, Esq. of Springfield, Hampshire Co., W.Va. and Elizabeth SHANNON, his wife, was born in Springfield, Hampshire Co., Va., August 24, 1852, and died in the same town, Oct. 7, 1886. He was baptised in infancy by the Rev. Dr. Wm. H. FOOT, of the Presbyterian Church, but never joined any christian communion. Although not a member of any church, he was a man of kindest feelings for all. And did practice many christian virtues, and was considered a very moral man and maintained a good reputation for probity in all his dealings. On June 3, 1885 - only about 16 months before his death - he was very happily married to Mrs. Mary E. WILSON of Springfield, and proved a kind husband to her, and so treated her children - of a former union - that long before his death he had gained their very affectionate regard and they now mourn for him as for an own father. During his last illness in which he was kept bed fast for several weeks and which he past with great patience, he was visited often by the writer himself and by the Rev. Mr. FINLEY - pastor of his father's family - and others, who earnestly tendered him all possible spiritual aid in a final preparation to meet God. And a while before his spirit left its tenement of clay, he professed to be ready and willing to go, having taken hold on God's strength - even Jesus Christ our savior, and resigned all to his will! For a man of only 34 years of age, and of such quiet ways, he had secured the esteem and tender regards of a very large circle of friends, not only throughout Hampshire Co., (unreadable line), a very large congregation attended the funeral (at the Presbyterian church) and followed the remains to the grave, as conducted by the Pastor of the M.E. Church South; and fair ladies bought for him the sweetest flowers, a cross and a wreath, bearing the appropriate and precious word "REST". J.J.

"John Wilson was born in March 1816, and his wife was born in the
same month and year. He became the owner of the Seven Springs farm,
and in addition to operating it, conducted a large woolen mill
located on that farm, and a general store at Old Town, prior to the
war of the 60's. In 1865 he moved to Flintstone, Maryland, and
established himself in a general mercantile business, which he
continued to operate until 1880, when increasing infirmities
resulting from inflammatory rheumatism and gout forced his
retirement. With the hope of securing some permanent relief,
he took treatments at Hot Springs, Arkansas, but in vain, and
died in 1886."

"Death of an Old Citizen -- Mr. Nathan WILSON, who was one of the
oldest residents of this county, died on Saturday at his farm on
the Baltimore pike, a few miles from this city. His death,
though expected, was rather sudden. He had been bed-ridden for
several days. On the day mentioned, a friend came in for
"Uncle Nathan" to sign a check. He sat up in apparently as good
health as usual, signed the check, and in five minutes thereafter,
his soul had passed to its future home. He was in his 90th year
and was very vigorous for one of his advanced years."
