Robert Bruce WILSON, 26, formerly of Macy, Ind., passed away Saturday night in a hotel in Butler, Pa. His body was found at the foot of a doorway beneath his room and deep lacerations about his head and arms, inflicted when he fell into a glass doorway were instrumental in his death. Mr. Wilson’s death was attributed to heart trouble, however, as he had suffered several attacks since he was ill from the small pox a little over two years ago. The fatal stroke it was believed came while he was walking up the stairs to his room. Robert Bruce, son of Scudder and Herma (WHITTENBERGER) WILSON was born in Macy on December 15, 1908. He was a graduate of the Macy high school. For a few years he engaged in the insurance business in Peru and later removed to Rochester, N.Y., where he was employed as an advertising solicitor for a Telephone directory printing establishment. Mr. Wilson was also a talented musician. On August 17th, 1929 he was united in marriage to Antionette BLUM, the ceremony being performed in Rochester, N.Y. The deceased was a member of the Macy Christian church. The survivors are the widow and a daughter Marilyn Jean [WILSON], aged 4; his parents; three sisters, Mrs. Virginia KIBIGER of Ft. Wayne; Mrs. Joanna KNAUFF, of Macy; Miss Willodean [WILSON], of Macy, and his grandmother Mrs. Cora WHITTENBERGER, of Macy. Mr. and Mrs. Scudder Wilson left immediately for Butler, Pa., from where they will return with the body. Funeral arrangements will be announced in Tuesday’s issue of The News-Sentinel.

Wednesday, October 30, 1935 The funeral services for the late Robert WILSON, who bled to death in Butler, Pa., Saturday night following an accident will be held from the Christian Church in Macy Friday at 1:30 p.m. Rev.
