The Funeral Services will be held at St. Luke's Church, Palermo, On Thursday Afternoon, Nov 30th, At Two o'clock, Interment in St. Luke's Cemetery, Palermo GEO Wilkinson of Palermo, Dead His mother was the first white woman born in the district. Grandmother fell prey to barbarous Indians. After a week's illness, Geo. H. Wilkinson died at his home on Dundas St, Palermo, yesterday morning in the 74th year of his age, cause of death being Pneumonia. The deceased had been a member of St. Luke's Church, in the village, and his remains will be interred in the Anglican cemetery there beside those of his parents tomorrow afternoon. Geo Wilkinson was the son of the late Mr. & Mrs. Francis Wilkinson, also lifelong residents near the Italian named village on Dundas St. He first saw the light of day in the home in which he died, where his mother was also born. He was a farmer by occupation, and a conservative by policy. Mr Wilkinson was married in Palermo, where he chose for his life partner miss Maria Patterson, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Patterson, who is left to mourn with one son, Morely Wilkinson, a well-known farmer near the village. The deceased was a most highly respected gentleman, and posessed a very kind and cheerful disposition up to the time he knew that he was about to pass away to the great beyond, and was satisfied to leave this world of wars when the great Creator called him to his reward. The funeral will no doubt be a large one, as Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson's large circle of friends will surely attend to show their last respects to the deceased and sympathy to the bereaved widow, son, and his family. Touching on the history of the deceased's ancestors, who had lived around the wilds near Palermo, many thrilling experiences could be related to them, especially at times when they would come into contact with the Indians. One day Mrs. Simmons, Geo. Wilkinson's grandmother, fell prey to a tribe of the redskins. The white woman had just crossed a fence to enter a lonely part of the woods when she was captured. It is stated one of the Indians inflicted one of their cruelest tortures on the poor woman by "Scalping" her. The dear old mother, grandmother, and Christian woman died in her agony on the spot, and her tragic death caused the greatest grief by all the white inhabitants in the scaterec(?) district.
