General Notes: Husband - William Wilson Alcorn

---

"Seldom does a death visit a community to cause deeper sorrow and regret to all of the community than did the untimely passing of one of our best men and most loved citizens of the east side, W. W. Alcorn. But recently it was our great pleasure to grasp his hand in a true friendship on the streets of Windsor, but even now he has passed on to the Great Beyond. He was sick only a few days with that dread disease, pneumonia. W. W. Alcorn was one of the men of his community such as are rarely found. A prosperous and efficient farmer, a devoted husband, a loving father and a true friend, he will be sadlly missed in the community. William Wilson Alcorn was born in Tidnite, Penn., Dec. 10, 1845, and died on Feb. 13, 1917, being therefore 71 years, 1 month and 23 days old. He was married on Dec. 10, 1868 to Lydia A. Maxon. To this union four children were born. Misses Ida E. and Edith May Alcorn and Mrs. C. L. Johnson of Ardmore, S. D., and H. R. Alcorn of Radcliffe, Iowa. Mr. Alcorn's first wife died Nov. 13, 1879. On Oct. 2, 1880 he was married to Ida M. Gray. To this union there were born nine children, Mrs. Florence F. Mast of Abilene, Kas., Wm. Merwin, Ralph Elton, Mrs. Elsie M. Carter, Asa Allen, Wilbur Loyd, Bernice Irene and Ora Lucile. Those of the children who have preceded their father are Ida E., Edith May, Ralph Elton and Wilbur Loyd. Mr. Alcorn moved to Indiana when about 14 years of age. In 1878 he moved on to Kossuth County, Iowa, and in 1903 came to his present home near Windsor. At the time of his death he was a member of the M. E. Church ofBrandon. The funeral was held from the family residence last Monday morning at 10 o'clock under the direction of Rev. Brown of Prairie Chapel and burial was in Laurel Oak cemetery."
