    Notes:

    Charles P. Wilson died of a complication of diseases, aged 34 years, Thursday morning, at the Reading hospital, after a lingering illness. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Wilson, two brothers and three sisters. His wife died some time ago. The remains were removed to 305 North Fifth street, by Funeral Director Hunter Henninger. Deceased received his education in the Columbia schools and for a number of years was employed by the Reading company there. He came to Reading some years ago when the headquarters of the Reading & Columbia road was removed here. He then secured a position as chief clerk in the trainmaster's office, which position he held for some years and owing to ill health he was compelled to retire. He spent some months in Texas with a view of recuperating. When he returned he entered the passenger service, but resigned about nine months ago. Up to four weeks ago he resided at Myerstown. Finding that his health was failing he came to Reading and was removed to the hospital.

    Notes:

    Divorced:
    Matching his obituary and the 1900 US census where he is listed as single, living in a hotel in Reading, Berks County, PA, it appears that Charles and Emma divorced prior to 1900.
