William F. Wilson, the son of Councilman and Mrs. W.W. Wilson, died yesterday afternoon, March 24, 1920, at the home of his parents on West Third Street, after a week's illness of pneumonia, in the 33rd year of his age. He was seriously ill a year ago, and that illness had left him in no condition to withstand the attack of pneuonia.

Mr. Wilson ws born in Plainfield and was educated in St. Mary's School; he lived here all his life. He was for several years manager of one of his father's grocery stores, but for the past four years he had been engaged in the real estate business. He always took an active interest in manly sports, especially in baseball and football, and he was prominent in the affairs of the Knights of Columbus. He was a fourth degree member of Watchung Council, which degree will hold service at his late home tomorrow evening.

Besides his parents, Mr. Wilson leaves three children, Catherine, Veronica and William, Jr.; two brothers, Walter and John; and a sister, Miss Mary Wilson. His wife died about eighteen month ago; she was formerly Miss Bertha Colvin.

The funeral will be held from the house on Saturday mornin, March 27th, at 8:30 o'clock and in St. Mary's Church at 9 o'clock. The interment will be made in the family plot in St. Mary's Cemetery.
