We regret to have to record the death of Mr Walter Wilson, a son of Mr Thomas Wilson, farmer, of Moutere, who died of paralysis of the spine at the Dunstan Hospital, at 10 o’clock on Wednesday last, at the early age of 23. The deceased, who was employed at the Moutere station for some time, was suffering in March last from a severe cold, which he neglected, and, paralysis of the spine setting in, he had to be conveyed to the hospital, where he has been ever since, lingering between life and death. He was a fine strapping young fellow, and it is sad to think that one so young should be cut off in the flower of his youth by the relentless hand of death. Young Wilson was a great favourite with all who knew him, and his untimely end will be deeply regretted by his many friends. The last sad ceremonies of respect to the deceased will take place to-morrow (Saturday), at 2 p.m., when his funeral will leave the Dunstan Hospital. -Dunstan Times, 3/6/1892.
