Death of Edward Downton at Wilcox Sask
Word reached here last Friday that Edward Downton of Wilcox Sask died that morning at 74. He came from England in 1890 and farmed north of town before moving to Oberon to run a general store. Later he settled in Wilcox with his sons, farming and operating a store until recent years. Downton was a Christian gentleman and Sunday School worker who often filled the pulpit. He was a 40 year member of Court McGregor CCF. Sympathies go to Mrs Downton and sons William Edward Arthur and daughter Daisy, all of Wilcox.
