GUS WILSON DIES SUDDENLY

Gus Wilson, a farmer living about five miles southeast of Tonkawa, on a farm leased from the Ponca Indians, took suddenly ill about four o’clock Wednesday morning and died before medical assistance could arrive, dying about five o’clock.
Mr. Wilson was a man about fifty years old and seemingly in good health. He was on the streets here Tuesday and was heard to say nothing about feeling badly. He leaves a widow and five children.
Mr. Wilson came to Oklahoma from Saline Co., Kansas, seven years ago and has resided here since that time. Several relatives live in Kansas and the corpse will be sent there for burial today – Tonkawa Journal
