OAKLAND, Feb. 24.—Thomas Wil- kinson, former Warden of the State penitentiary at Folsom, died at 2:30 o’clock this morning at his residence, 1123 Fifth avenue, after a week of ill- ness from heart disease. The former Warden was born England in 1837. When 14 years old | he ecame to the United States, settling at Buffalo, N. Y., where he lived for | many years, becoming a well-to-do citizen Among his intimate friends was Grover Cleveland, former Presi- dent of the United States. In 1876 Wilkinson, with his family, came to California and made Oakland his home for many years, residing at Highland Park. For several years he was engaged in the lumber business and al¢so had mining interests. Later he entered politics and was appointed commissary at the State penitentiar; at S8an Quentin, occupying that re- | sponsible position until 1899, when he was chosen Warden at Folsom to suc- | ceed the late Charles Aull. As Warden Wilkinson was the head center of attack during the convicts’ break last July. A bunch of the escaping felons compelled the official to accompany them for a mile and half during their flight. But the run- aways released the Warden after strip- ping him of his civilian's garrhents. Wilkinson was severely for the break, but his freinds defended the Warden and declared he was not responsible. It was admitted after all was over that Wilkinson was not a strong executive man, | sessed a sterling honesty in conducting the prison affairs that commended him to the Prison Directors. After his resignation in November Wilkinson returned to Oakland for a | home. Here he resided with his daugh- ter, Miss Antoinette Wilkinson, who had been hi wardenship. A son, Albert E. Wilkin- son, is the only other surviving mem- ber of the family. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the | Fifth-avenue residence. —_— Oldest Woman in Chicago Dies.
