He attended Beaver Crossing High School with the Class of 1933. Wilbur was united in marriage September 30, 1940 to Mary Farmer. To this union were born three children, 2 sons and 1 daughter. Wilbur passed away suddenly on Monday afternoon, March 26, 1984 at Beaver Crossing at the age of 69 years, 2 months, and 4 days. He was preceded in death by his parents and two sisters, Clara Smetter and Minnie Roth. Survivors include his wife, Mary, 1 daughter, Jolene (Mrs. Larry) Fox of Aurora, Nebraska, 2 sons, William of Denver, Colorado, Wayne of Lincoln, Nebraska, 7 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his twin sister, Wilma (Mrs. Brad) Dolan of Modesto, California, another sister Laura Otto, and brothers, Homer, Lloyd, Floyd, Lyle of Beaver Crossing, Leslie of York, and Henry of Oak Harbor, Washington, 1 son-in-law, Larry Fox, 2 daughters-in-law, Patty and Betty Miller, and many other relatives and numerous friends. To his children and grandchildren he will always be remembered for all his silly jokes, helpful actions, making neat frames for Mom's paintings, pony rides, riding lawn mower rides, quarters and 50 cent pieces for the little ones and $20 bills for the struggling college students. There was always a menagerie of mules, goats, big horses, little ponies, and pony carts to entertain one and all. For many years he worked at Yost Brothers Lumber Company and even after he retired, they couldn't get rid of him. He helped all the widows and repaired scores of items for many local residents. Wilbur will long be remembered for his cheerful, teasing personality and the outspoken way he let you know exactly what he though in each situation. On December 9, 1927, Grandma Farmer wrote down a poem in her daughter Mary's autograph book. We would like to share it with all of you: What We Need A little more kindness and a little less creed, A little more giving and a little less greed, A little more smile and a little less frown, A little less kicking a man when he's down, A little more "we" and a little less "I", and a little more laugh and a little less cry. A little more flowers on the pathway of life and fewer on the grave at the end of the strife.
