Bio
William W. Wildman, one of the oldest native born citizens of the county, who lived nearly all his life in Franklin township, died very suddenly and unexpectedly from paralysis at Roy, New Me., where he was visiting his son, J.E. Wildman, on Tuesday, Oct. 9. He was taken sick at the breakfast table Monday morning and staggered to a bed but never was able to speak again. He died 21 hours afterwards. The body was brought back to this county for interment, arriving in Neosho Friday morning. It was taken to Macedonia Cemetery in Franklin township for burial. His death was a great shock to his relatives and friends here as he was known to be apparently in good health. He was a large man and had enjoyed very good health all his life. Deceased was the son of Stephen and Judy Wildman and was born in Newton County April 27, 1857. He was of a family of five children, three sisters and two brothers. He was united in marriage March 2, 1879, with Amanda Garner and to them were born two sons, J.E. Wildman of Roy, New Mexica, and D.E. Wildman of Granby. Mrs. Wildman was with him at Roy, New Mex., when he died. Mr. Wildman made a profession of religion in 1881 and three years later he and his wife united with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. They remained members of this church until they removed to Texas in 1901. Mr. Wildman held firmly to the Baptist faith and regretted the fact that he could not enjoy services of the church on account of a growing trouble which finally resulted in his death. Mr. Wildman was a member of the Masonic Lodge of Stella and according to the Masonic belief they regard him as still a member of that lodge. As a farmer and merchant, Mr. Wildman was industrious, thrifty and honest and in consequence successful. He operated a store at Wanda for three years and the rest of his life was engaged in farming. He made friends wherever he went by his jovial, hearty manner and his death caused much sorrow in the community where he lived so long. The Neosho Times Oct. 18, 1917
