—The death of Jesse P. Wilson, one of the oldest residents of Lansingburgh, occurred this morning at the Hotel Brunswick in that village, of which he was the owner. Mr. Wilson was born in Forest Edward eighty-three years ago. He was the son of a hotel-keeper of that village. Early in life Mr. Wilson went to Albany and for several years he conducted a hotel at No. 29 Hudson street. Afterward he was in the hotel business in New York, conducting a house on College place, nearly opposite the old Central depot. Thirty-five years ago he went to Lansingburgh and established a hostelry on Second avenue, then State street, erecting and carrying on for several years a hotel known as the Wilson house. During recent years Mr. Wilson, by reason of ill-health, was unable to participate actively in every-day affairs and all winter he had been confined to his house by what proved a fatal illness. Mrs. Jennie Beach, Mrs. M. A. Decker of Lansingburgh and Mrs. Donald McDonald of Tacoma, Wash., are daughters of the deceased.

The Wilson House

Troy, May 13.
Editor Troy Times:
In the article concerning the Wilson house in Lansingburgh the impression is given that is it an ancient building. One look at the building shows that it is modern. On commenting at one time upon the rather peculiar but not at all antique fashion of the inside wood finish, Mr. Wilson thus explained to the writer: “An old house was torn down in New York and I bought the materials cheap and brought them up here on a canalboat and built this house.” The bricks may have been made in Holland, but they don’t look it. The Wilson house was built less than sixty years ago.
