Beatty, 'Administrator ‘ Ruth and Floyd ‘ Lois and John Perkins i From Frank Schissler A short time after coming to Richmond Hill I had occasion to get some medical advice so went to Dr. Wilson. After sev- eral questions he advised me to let my bosses do the worrying. He remarked at the time that he thought that doctors were the only people who had wor- ries. I tried to change his mind but to no avail. Some time later I joined the Lions Club of which Dr. Wilson was a member. He soon went up the ladder and became pres- ident of our club, and I may add he was a good president. At one of our business meetings a motion was made by one of our members (no names given). This was followed by three amend- ments. When the third amend- ment was made, the president called a halt for this amend- ment was the same as the orig- inal motion. Dr. J. P. must have been paying attention. “One Sunday night I was helping Tom Taylor when an ambulance call came in. The weather was terrible, raining and freezing which made driv- ing almOSt impossible. When I arrived at the house I found Dr. Wilson attending to an elderly woman. When we got her in the ambulance, I whispered to the doctor, to find out what was wrong with her. He told me she had a broken hip. I told him she was liable to have a broken neck before I would get her to hospital. His advice was to keep the four wheels on the road and all would be well. Since 1938 when my father and mother and myself moved here to Richmond Hill from Mil- ton Ontl we have had Dr. Wil- son as our family doctor. “We congratulate him and Mrs. Wilson on their 50th wed~ ding anniversary and wish them much joy and health in years “It has been a great pleasure to know him and also to be in his care when we were sick. “He took wonderful care of my mother who has been a semi- invalid for years. and ten years while she lay bedridden he gave her every care and attention.| Today. she is feeling much bet-l ter and can get around the] house pretty well, which we; never expected she would ever; be able to do again. , When I married, I continued to have Dr. Wilson.

We join with the many others in this commun- ity in thanking you for the many k-indnesses extended to us. May you enjoy many more years of happy wedded life.” On the occasion of his 50th wedding anniversary my wife and family join with me in the sincere wish that Dr. and Mrs. Wilson may have through the years to come God's richest blessing and much real joy and happiness in the eventide of lives which have brought so much help and happiness to others. “His life has been a devoted ministry of help and healing and we recall that especially in the dark depression days of the thirties his generosity and boundless human sympathy and understanding was comfort and help to so many people. “My wife and I had the good fortune to grow up in homes where the family doctor rated high in esteem and respect. In our homes the only competitor for top billing was the minister. It has been a source of genuine satisfaction to us that when we established a home and family here. Dr. Wilson gave to our children the same fine image of a family doctor as we as child- ren had enjoyed in our homes. This I think better than many words expresses our apprecia- tion of Dr. Wilson as a family doctor. "e } Dr. Wilson recalls one such .and Mrs.‘trip ending up at a one-room continued log shack deep in the bush, For the next four years, he supported himself in various ways while also attending medi- cal school. For two summers he taught school in Western Canada, from May to October, in communities too poor to afford a full-time teacher, and one year augmented his income in Toronto by peddling stereo Iscopes from door to door. Born in the Township of Al- bion. near Bolton, Dr. Wilson received his medical degree from the University of Toronto in 1911. But all that Went be- fore that brief sentenCe is a story in itself. Born into a farm family, but one which early showed medical leaningsâ€"Dr. Wilson’s two brothers are doc- torsâ€"«he made up his mind at the age of 11 that he would be a doctor. With this goal firmly in mind he completed his sec- ondary school education and then spent three years teaching in rural schools. It was while he was teaching at a small school in the Township of Ad- jola that he added a second goal to his life, that of marrying the beautiful and vivacious Mary Guest. An income of $250.00 a year, the magnificent sum his first year of teaching brought, was not enough to encourage any venture into matrimony; nor was the grand total of $350.00 to which he had advanced two years later. Even the entice- ment of a further $50.00 per year increase was not enough to swerve the young John Wil- son from his goal of medicine. With a promise from the fair Mary, he set off for Toronto and the university. The much coveted degree won by.unremitting effort, a charmâ€" ing country wedding followed and the young couple set off to take up residence at Swastika, a Northern Ontario mining cenâ€" tre_ Here both the doctor and his young wife lived and work- ed under primitive conditions. Calls for the doctor from out- lying areas usually came by tele- graph. The doctor would board the onceâ€"daily train that came through at 6 pm. along with his dog team and would be let off at the nearest point in the line to his destination. Here he would debark and go by dog team through the bush to his patient. Off to Northern Ontario One message reported: “Nel- lie‘s sick.

Richmond; Hill was decided on because it was a thriving community, in a ‘rural setting, and near a uni- versity centre (John was then six years old. but already his university career was being planned for) The family settled happily in Richmond Hill in 1919 and a few years later moved into the commodious premises. at the corner of Church and Centre Streets where Dr. Wilson prac- tised for 38 years. Here their children. John, Norma, Fred and in a warm, fun-loving and closely- knit family atmosphere. After spending a total of five years in Kirkland Lake. Dr. Wilson and his family, which now included three children. took a bold step and went to New York, where Dr. Wilson did post-graduate work. After little more than a month of trying to cope with her lively youngsters in a small city flat, Mrs. Wilson retired from the struggle and spent the rest of the year with the children at her parents‘ home. Post Graduate Work Settle In Richmond Hill everything would go all right," answered Dr. Wilson succinctly. Stricken With Typhoid Fever After a year at Swastika, the Wilson’s moved to Kirkland Lake. some five miles distant. A few weeks before the birth of their first child. Dr. Wilson was stricken with typhoid fever and was sent to hospital in To- ronto, his wife accompanying; him. Here son John was born. just a few days after Dr. Wilson left the hospital.‘ After a short‘ convalescence at the home of' his wife‘s parents, the three re-‘ turned to Kirkland Lake. â€"--v v r‘â€""" templating a career in medicine, Dr. Wilson emphasizes that they must be entirely dedicated to their work. “Don’t go into it unless you are prepared to de- vote your life to it," he cau- tioned. “You must always be willing to put your profession first." Dr. Wilson feels that medicine is still making great strides and that the control of cancer is not too far in the future. as well as arthritis and heart disease. When questioned about John and Norma both com- muted to Toronto for their uni- versity education, John in medi- cine (he is now a pediatrician at the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren in Toronto) and Norma in household economics â€" she is now married to Dr. A. M. Park of Toronto. Son Fred lives in Richmond Hill. One son, Eric, was lost in the war. Dr. Wilson feels that people are certainly in better health generally now than when he beâ€" gan his practise. He attributes this not only to the antibiotics. but to immeasurably better hy- giene and sanitation and better housing. Better knowledge and availability of a greater variety of foods he feels have also conâ€" tributed to the fact that the life span of the average individual has increased by 20 years over the past 50 years. The Wilsons Arrive In “Style” To any young person con- templating a career in medicine, anything but a general practi- tioner. “Because he's interested in people,” interjected Mrs. Wilson. Medicine is more strong- ly entrenched in the family than ever before. As well as the two brothers mentioned ear- lier. Dr. Wilson now has two cousin-s, a brotherâ€"in-lvaw, a son and a son-in-law, all engaged lin the profession. When questioned about the new hospital in Rich- mond Hill, Dr. Wilson stated emphatically. “That's the best piece of business Rich- mond Hill ever had". .He recalled at least one in- stancewhen having a hos- pital close at hand would have saved a life. It would save the local doctors hours of time. he stated. especial- ly as the Newmarket Hospi- tal handles only emergen- cy operations. and all other surgical cases have to go further away. And getting a patient down to a Toronto hospital, Dr. Wilson says. “is a real rat race".

Their recipe for a happy mar- ried life? “Just plain common sense, I guess," stated Dr. and Mrs. Wilson. He credits the same factor, plus hard work. to his good health at 76 years of age. Dr. Wilson has never used alcohol or tobacco. “When I was a young man, I couldn't afford tobacco," he stated. “And when I began practising and saw all the coughing, spitting and-bron- chitis in smokers. it just didn't seem sensible" When Dr. Wilson was asked how many babies he had deliver- ed in Richmond Hill, he could not say but thought it must be close to 2,000. “They a‘lwayS' came in bunches," he said.
