Mr.  Wilson was one of our most industrious and enterprising farmers and his death will be deeply lamented. Robert Wilson was a native of Sidney, Ohio, and at the time of his death was in the fifty-third year of his age. He has been a citizen of this county and identified with its interests for the past seventeen years, during which he has an enduring and enviable place in esteem and confidence of his neighbors and friends.
