Obituary, Leamington Post, 18 February 1915:
Alfred Wilkinson - [obscured] at St. Mary's Hospital, Detroit, on Thursday morning last. He sustained a fall some years ago which affected his health. A year ago last December he came from Vancouver and stopped with his brother Lewis, of this town until April when he went to Hotel Dieu, Windsor, for treatment. He remained there until December, when he went to St. Mary's Hospital, Detroit, where he remained until his death. He underwent several operations during his illness from which he received no benefit and gradually grew weaker. He is survived by a wife who resides in Detroit, also two brothers and one sister, the former being Lewis of Leamington and Oscar of Ludington, Mich., the latter being Mrs. George Robinson of this town, all of whom attended the funeral in Detroit on Saturday, where interment was made in Elmwood cemetery. Other relatives from this place at the funeral were Minnis Wilkinson, Oswald Robson and Collingwood Robson.
