From newspaper obituary - 1 Feb 1927:
Thos Wilson Dies At Harvey Station
Harvey Station, Feb 1 -- The death occurred at his home here on Friday morning of Thomas Wilson, one of Harvey's most respected residents, at the age of 73 years. Mr Wilson had been a lifelong resident of this locality, having been engaged in farming for many years. Although in failing health for several years he remained active and interested in the life of the community until death came suddenly at the last.

He is survived by his wife, who was Eleanor T. Grieve; three sons, Hugh A., of Harvey; Willard N. of McAdam, and Thomas E. of New York; and seven daughters, Mrs J. A. Wood of Tweedside, Mrs Amos Moffitt of McAdam, Mrs Gordon Dykeman of Hoquiam, Wash., the Misses Mabel and Helen, of Portland, Me., and the Misses Zella and Dora, at home.

The funeral took place from his late residence on Sunday afternoon and was very largely attended. Rev. G. E. Knight, pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Harvey, conducted a very impressive funeral service and sang a lovely solo, "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." Other hymns sung were "Asleep In Jesus" and "Peace, Perfect Peace."
Interment was made in the Manners Sutton Cemetery.
