CITY MARSHAL WILSON IS DEAD
Succumbed At 4:15 Saturday Afternoon After A Short Illness
James E. Wilson, city marshal of Redding, breathed his last in the St. Caroline Hospital at 4:15 Saturday afternoon. For two days he had lain at death's door, and from hour to hour the many friends in Redding inquired anxiously as to his condition, fearing that the end would come at any moment and hoping against hope that a turn for the better would be noted. James E. Wilson, a brave man all his life, was brave in the face of death. He feared not the end, though he longed to live and made a brave fight against the inevitable. An abscess on the brain was the cause of death. The wonder is that he survived so long after the ailment became so pronounced.
Mr. Wilson had not been in right good health for a week or two, but he was around and attending to his duties as recently as last Wednesday. On Thursday he took to his bed in the Hotel Lorenz, being removed from there to the St. Caroline Hospital on the following morning.
James E. Wilson was born in San Francisco 44 years ago. Much of his early life was spent in Mendocino and Humboldt counties. In later years he divided his residence between Trinity and Shasta counties. For fourteen years he was a driver on the Redding-Weaverville route, holding reins all those years opposite to Richard Heath, perhaps his most intimate friend. He was remarkably faithful in this capacity, very rarely missing a trip and seldom taking a vacation. About seven years ago he quit stage driving and settled down in Redding. He was employed at the Hotel Lorenz for three or four years and later by Mrs. Jane Olney, who was his personal friend. When Sheriff Montgomery took office in 1907 he made Mr. Wilson under sheriff, a position he filled well until April, 1908, when he was elected city marshal.
James E. Wilson made one of the very best city marshals. He was on duty day and night if occasion required it, and always carried his responsibility with him. No one could have been more conscientious or more diligent. He was fearless in the performance of his duty, but he had a heart as tender as that of a child. His hand opened quickly to appeals for aid and he was frequently imposed upon by the undeserving. Mr. Wilson was also county probation officer and in that capacity he guarded the welfare of children. Who knows but that his zealous devotion to his public duties may have been the indirect cause of his death before the allotted span?
A venerable father and a sister are left in Oakland, their residence being 879-1/2 Milton street. They were kept advised of Mr. Wilson's serious condition and will now be informed of his death.
The decedent was a prominent member of several fraternal orders. He was chancellor commander of Redding Lodge No. 73, Knights of Pythias. He belonged to Redding Camp, No. 236, Woodsmen of the World, in which order he carried $1000 insurance for the benefit of his father. He was also a member of McCloud Parlor of Native Sons and the Redding Lodge of Elks.
A telephone message from the sister in Oakland was received last evening. She stated that she would arrive here this morning. Her father is too feeble to make the long journey.
A meeting of representatives of the several orders to which
Mr. Wilson belonged will be held in the Elks' rooms at 11
o'clock this morning, when plans for the funeral will be
arranged.

Shasta, Shasta Co., California
Sat., Dec. 14, 1889
Died, Sunday, Dec. 8th, 1889, Edmund Bell, aged 51 years--drowned in Cottonwood Creek.
Mr. Bell was a native of Cambria county, Penn., where he
spent his boyhood. At the age of 16 he came to California; he
remained in the State until the outbreak of the late war, and
for a year after, his first year's service in the army having
been passed at Fort Crook, in this county. He then went East
as a member of the famous Battalion known as the California
Hundreds. He served with that organization until the close of
the war. He married Mary Adair, of Westmoreland county, Penn.
After several years in Missouri, he moved to Colorado, and
finally, two years since, returned to California, after an
absence of twenty-five years. Mining, both placer and quartz,
was his business during the greater portion of his life. A
devoted husband, the kindest of fathers, a true friend, his
memory will always remain dear to those who now mourn his
loss.
