Wilmer was very active in the forming of the labour unions in Akron. He was very influential and at the same time, there were a lot of people against what he was ding in tryingn to form unions for workers in the tire industry and other indistries. He devoted almost all of his time to this cause, and had a very understanding family. He died just a few days before his sister, Anna Elizabeth Tate Stewart, [see above] was killed in a car/train accident. [ I have a lot of newspaper articles regardingn his work in forming the AFL/CIO Union].
