Howard Wilson died at his mother's residence corner of High & Market Streets on last Friday evening with consumption, aged 23 years. Howard had been in gradual decline for some time, but until within the last 5 months continued to set type on the newspapers of this city. He was an industrious and faithful employee. The funeral was held at home on Sunday afternoon by Rev. Hays, pastor of the 1st Presbyterian Church. The pall bearers were fellow-typos out of the Journal office. The deceased was laid out in his military band suit, cap in hand, and was escorted to his last home in the Masonic's cemetery by his fellow members of the Frank Wilhite Band. - kbz
