[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 18 January 1921]
While in the act of putting a milk bottle on his verandah step on Friday, Jan. 14, Carson B. Wills, of Elgin street was taken suddenly ill. He returned to his bedroom, laid down on the bed, and passed away. He was in his 64th year. Mr. Wills had been troubled with his heart for the past three or four months. Born in Wainfleet Township, on March 27, 1857, he was the son of Michael Wills of Wainfleet and later of this city. He was married in 1878 to Miss Amanda Clement of Virgil, Ont., who still survives. Together with the grieving widow, Mr. Wills is mourned by four sons, Charles, of Marshville, and Carson, William and George of this this city, and two sisters, Mrs. I. Nunnamaker of South Dakota, U.S.A., and Mrs. L. Hogue of Mill St. Welland.
Mr. Wills was for a number of years a prominent farmer on the Fork’s Road, coming to Welland about fifteen years ago, and was employed as carpenter and painter, until his death.
The funeral was held on Sunday from his late residence to the Baptist Church. Interment was made at Wilson’s Cemetery, Forks Road.
