An excerpt from the newspaper clipping reads as follows:

Mrs. Wilson, a Hallie Q. Brown Golden Ager, was in Hallie's Bus Tuesday of last week, after being picked up at her home by Mrs. Janeabelle Taylor, Program Director, for the weekly meeting at Hallie. She was the third passenger that Mrs. Taylor had picked up and she was on the way to get a fourth. As the Bus rounded the corner on 10th and Main steets, the door flew open and Mrs. Wilson fell out. She sustained a broken hip and was taken to the hospital. Surgery was performed at St. Paul-Ramsey on Thursday. Her condition became worse and she went into shock following surgery.
Born in Bolivia, Tenn., November 15, 1876, Mrs. Wilson had lived here since 1904. She was a member of Mt. Olivet Church and services were conducted by the church pastor, the Rev. John F. Williams, with music by the Church Choir. Burial was in Oakland Cemetery.
