Edward W. Wilkinson Obituary The Mansfield News, Thursday, January 24, 1918 WAR VETERAN IS SUMMONED Edward Wilkinson Succumbs Today After Extended Period of Poor Health MUSEUM CURATOR FOR MANY YEARS Was Natural History Student From Early Youth and Collected Many Specimens Edward Wilkinson, Civil war veteran, well-known Mansfield resident and for many years curator of the Memorial museum, died at 11:30 o’clock today at his home, 219 West Fifth street, death having resulted from a complication of diseases after Mr. Wilkinson had been in poor health for several years. Mr. Wilkinson was born in this city, Feb. 3, 1846. He attended the Mansfield schools and would have graduated with the second class that went out of the local high school, but his father died when Edward was 16 years old and the boy then left school to learn the trade of a tinner. In 1864, at the age of 18 years, he enlisted in the 163rd regiment, O. V. I. At the close of the war he worked at his trade for a time at Kendallville, Ind. In 1868, Mr. Wilkinson engaged in the tinning trade for himself and in 1870 he sold his business and went to work for the Aultman and Taylor company, continuing in the employ of this company for 15 years, although otherwise employed at times during this period. In 1873 he made his first trip to Mexico, where for several years he was assistant superintendent of a silver mining company. Mr. Wilkinson was a member of the G. A. R. and was also active as an Odd Fellow, being a member of Mansfield lodge, Mohiccon Encampment and Canton Mansfield. At one time it was stated that he had memorized more of the unwritten work and lectures of various branches of the order than any other man in Mansfield, or perhaps the state. One of the chief features of interest in Mr. Wilkinson’s life work was his research in the realm of natural history and its allied sciences. As a young child he developed a taste for such study and in 1864 began the collection of specimens. He made taxidermy a special study and mounted many valuable specimens. Upon his return from a second Mexican trip he brought home 12,000 botanical specimens alone. Shortly after his return to Mansfield in 1889 he was chosen as curator of Memorial museum, in which capacity he served for many years, doing much to bring this museum up to such a high standard as to attract attention from men all over the country. He is survived by one son, Harry, and two daughters, Miss Mae Wilkinson and Mrs. G. W. Bahl, all of this city, also one sister Mrs. W. M. Payne of Sutton’s Bay, Mich. Funeral services will be conducted at the home Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock by the Rev. W. R. Polhamus of Central Methodist church. Services and burial will be private, and it is asked that flowers be omitted.
