  Obituary from the Winona Republican-Herald, 14 Apr 1922, p. 13: «b»Pickwick«/b» Funeral services for William Wallace Wilson were held at the Methodist church at Dakota, Wednesday, April 12, at two o'clock under the direction of the Masonic Order. Rev. A.T. Wallace of Winona officiated and interment was made in the Dakota cemetery. William Wallace Wilson was born at Dakota Aug. 27, 1864, in a family of thirteen children. He died at the hospital at La Crosse, April 9, 1922, after an illness of six months. Aug. 20, 1904, he was married to Miss Clara Kourtz at Meloma, Wis. To them were born three children, Mildred, Melinda, and Helen, who survive him. Mr. Wilson moved here about twelve years ago to operate the Pickwick Co-operative creamery, a position which he held for six years. His wife died here on Feb. 11, 1913. About a year after her death the family spent two years in St. Charles when they returned to the village and Mr. Wilson purchased the store of F.J. Willard at Winona. April 7, 1915, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Helen Albrecht of Nodine who survives him. During their residence of twelve years here the family made many friends who extend their sympathy to the widow and daughters in their sad bereavement. Mr. Wilson is survived by two sisters, Mrs. George Gleason of Nortonville, North Dakota, and Mrs. Newton Grant of Tomah, Wis. and seven brothers, Dr. Clarence Wilson of Dakota, John of Minneiska, Judson of Cumberland, Wis., Delbert of Parker, S.D., and Willis of Edgerly, N. D., who has spent the winter with his brother. In addition to the relatives who attended the funeral there were Mr. and Mrs. John Wilson and son, Stanley, Mrs. Newton Grant and Willis Wilson, also Erdman Kowitz of Sparta, Wis., Mrs. Ed Dangle and Gus Kowitz of Adams, Wis. The following brother Masons of the Pickwick Lodge, A.F. and A.M., of which Mr. Wilson was a member, attended the funeral: J.M. Rutherford, Floyd Dykeman, Clyde Harvey, Dan Stedman, Howard Stedman, Stuart Harrington, James Sperbeck, and Ray Le May. Helen Wilson returned to Adams, Wis., with her aunt, Mrs. Ed Dangle.
