WM.
WILSON SUCCUMBS TO HEART ATTACK
William Wilson, an employee of Foremost
Dairies, met instant death when fell by a heart attack while working with
several other plant employees at the firm’s warehouse in Dorchester.
He
and other employees were practically done with their task of unloading some bags
of dried whey when he was stricken at about 4:15 p.m. Thursday, September 10.
Efforts by the Dorchester fire company to revive him were futile. County
authorities and medical men said that death was instant.
Funeral services
were held at 11:00 o’clock Monday morning, September 14, from St. Katherine’s
Church. Father Richard Hewetson officiated with burial being made at Riverside
Cemetery. Pallbearers were Frank Cieslik, Carl Riber, Les Jens, Toivo Makinen,
Jim Clark and Edward Lehnen.
Born November 19, 1919, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. George Wilson, Bill received his schooling in the Owen Public Schools and
then became an employee of the E. W. Kidd company. He also was an employee of
the Frederick Post Co., leaving that firm in 1950 when he became associated with
Western Condensing Co., (now Foremost Dairies) with whom he had been employed
since February 16, 1950. There was an interruption in his span of employment
when he left for military duty during World War II serving three years with the
U. S. Navy.
On July 8, 1944, he and the former Sylvia Hautamaki were
wed in a ceremony performed at St. Katherine’s Episcopal Church, Owen. Mourning
his shocking death are his wife and three children, two sons, Dennis 17 and
Richard 13, and a daughter, Wendy 3; his mother, Mrs. Nellie Wilson; two
sisters, Mr. Vern (Bertha) Capes, Milwaukee, and Mrs. Paul (Evelyn) Fricke,
Owen, and four brothers Newell, Claude, and Floyd, Wilson all of Owen and Lloyd
of Powers, Michigan.
