Horace Styles Wilson Obituary:

Died of Acute Appendicitis on a Tuesday .. Horace drank
alot,but he was a good farmer and a good provider. Whenever
he would go into town, he would always bring home candy for
all the kids. Horace almost lost his farm once through his
drinking, but Robert,his father,straightened him out. Later
Horace actually did lose his farm,after Robert had passed
away. Another story was givin from Horace C Wilson about his
Grandfather Horace Stiles Wilson from an interview in 1978
By Diane Woolley. Horace Wilson had a neighbor who had lost
his mind. This man's name was Ang Gunyah or Ang Gundah. One
day William Wells met this man and brought him over to
Horace's house. It got to be late,but the man wouldn't go to
sleep,so Rob and one of the other boys sat up with him, and
the rest of the family went to bed. The two boys made
something to eat and tried to give the neighbor some, but he
wouldn't take any food because he thought they had put
something in it. Then the man went outside and started
wandering around. The boys decided they better wakeup there
father, Horace,and Horace went out and brought the guy back
in. Then the man got some wood from the stove and started
hitting around. Horace and the boys decided that they had
better tie the man up before he hurts himself or them or
broke something. While they were trying to grab him to tie
him up, Horace got kicked in the side so hard that it
knocked him clear accross the room. A little while (a few
days) after that, Horace was having pains in his side, but
he never said much about it because he never complained much
about things like that. But then he really got sick,and the
doctor was called to the house. The doctor did an operation
on Horace,on the dining room table, but Horace had an
abcessed Appendix and it was too late to save him. The
Family Always knew though,that it happened because of his
being kicked.
