WILSON, George Edward (1864-1948) of Ogdensburg, N.Y. designed several buildings in towns along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River in the late nineteenth century. In 1901 he was sufficiently attracted by business prospects in Ottawa, Ont. that he moved his architectural office to that city. By 1908 however he had returned to Ogdensburg and remained there for the duration of his career. He died there on 4 January 1948 (obituary in the Ogdensburg Journal, 5 Jan. 1948, 8; inf. from Mrs. Persis Boyesen, Ogdensburg)
