A telegram came Tuesday from Gilbert, Ark., telling of the sudden death at eight o'clock that morning of Mrs. Hattie Wilson, a well known Jasper township woman. Heart trouble was given as the cause. She had become ill the day before. Mrs. Wilson had been visiting the family of Dr. E. E. Roberts, at Gilbert, for some weeks.

On telegraphic instruction from her son, Robert M. Wilson, and other relatives here, the body was ordered shipped to Fairfield for burial. The funeral will likely be Thursday although the arrangements will not be made until after the body arrives. Mrs. Wilson was the widow of the late W. F. Wilson, a well-known and highly respected farmer of Jasper township, who died some two years ago.
