Last Friday letters from the physicians stated that he was growing weaker and that unless a definite change in his condition should take place within a few days recovery was doubtful. Sunday evening's mail brought a letter to the editor that there was no change in his condition. About 2 o'clock Monday morning a telephone message to the writer stated that he had just passed away.

A few years later he left Iowa and came to Sargent, Nebraska, as his sister, Mrs. S. E. Brush and family resided here. On September 29, 1908, he was married to Elnora S. Miller. The next spring they moved to Powell, Wyoming, where they resided for three years, returning to Sargent the early part of the year 1912. From that date until the spring of 1928 he farmed in the vicinity of Sargent, never being located more than eleven miles from Sargent. In March 1928, he and his wife moved to Sargent and this has been his home since. He is survived by his wife and daughter, Mrs. Lucille Evans of Casper, Wyoming, and five grand children; also by three sisters; Mrs. Sarah E. Brush of Sargent, Nebraska; Mrs. Lottie Stanburg of Mohawk, New York; and Mrs. Hiram (Jennie Peach) Waddell, of Venice, California; two brothers: William Wilgus and Henry Wilgus of Waterloo, Iowa; also many other relatives and friends. While still a young man he joined the United Brethern church and when he came to Sargent he united with the Methodist Episcopal church of which he was a member at the time of his death. The funeral was held at the Methodist church Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. The singing was by a mixed quartette consisting of George W. Young, Mrs. Wm R. Kidder. Mrs. H. T. Olson and Harold Pedrick. Mrs. Robert Brown accompanied at the piano. The songs used were "Abide With Me," "Rock of Ages," and "Nearer, My God, To Thee". The pall bearers were Albert Smith, Carl Cole, Roy Sweet, Wilbur Tobins, Walter Pedrick and Charles Roe, all friends and neighbors of Mr. Wilgus when he lived on the Mrs. C. L. Sweet farm two miles north of town. The pastor of the church, the Rev. J. LaVerne, Jay preached a very good sermon. Interment was made in the E. Miller lot in the West Union Cemetery. Mr. Wilgus was a good citizen, a good neighbor, a kind husband and father. Albert Smith, for thirteen years a neighbor told the writer that Jake was a prince of a neighbor. He was good hearted and generous. As an example of what he would do, when the flu was so prevalent the winter of 1918, he set up with neighbors many nights. He was always glad to help as much as possible in case of sickness or other misfortune. The writer and his family have been the recipients of many, many acts of kindness and generosity from him.
