(October 26, 1844-October 15, 1898)

T. J. Wilkins, one of the old residents of Norwood, died at the State Hospital, Ogdensburg, Saturday. His body was brought home Saturday evening and the funeral services held from the house yesterday at half past one. Mr. Wilkins has been for years a great sufferer from an amputated leg, being for weeks at a time unable to be about. The strain of this long continued anguish was such as to cause a partial breaking down and about two years ago he was taken to the hospital.
