SAMUEL F. WILSON

Whereas, Honorable Samuel F. Wilson, the duly elected and qualified Senator of the Twentieth Senatorial District of the State of Iowa, departed this life on the 21st day of February, 1927.

Therefore, This body duly assembled hereby pass the following resolution:

Samuel F. Wilson was born in Louisa county, Iowa, near Morning Sun, on September 2, 1868. He grew to manhood in that vicinity and occupied many positions of trust among his neighbors and citizens of his county. He served the township of Morning Sun for many years as trustee, and for two terms served the county of Louisa as a member of the Board of Supervisors, having been a member when the drainage districts of that county were established. He served the Morning Sun Consolidated school district as member and president of its board of directors. He was one of the organizers of the Louisa County Farm Bureau and for many terms served the county as its president. In the fall of the year 1926 he was elected Senator of the Twentieth Senatorial District, composed of Muscatine and Louisa counties. And it is with deep regret that he was unable to fill the term of office to which the people had elected him. And it is with deep regret that this body now registers this resolution of his passing.

Therefore, Be It Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be printed in the records of this body and a copy of the same, signed by the President and President Pro Tem, be forwarded to his family.
