Obituary- Wilt, Reuben 2

He lived a simple unostentatious life full of good deeds and charity for his fellow man. One of his characteristics was his readiness to respond to the unfortunate or those in distress. In talking to a close friend the writer was reminded of a circumstance that illustrates his type of character. A number of years ago when Reuben was only a boy, a widow woman was left in destitute circumstances. After giving liberally himself, a public subscription was taken and he tried to hide his part of the benevolence.

To those who knew his tenderness of heart and unselfish disposition, his memory will ever remain with them while life lasts. He was not given to sham and cared only for the good and true.

The floral offerings were very elaborate and profuse and came from many sources as friends, the business men of the town, the church of which he was a member, the Modern Woodman and Masonic lodges, and from Hardware firms, whom the Wilt Bros. had dealt with for years in a business way.
