NOV 7, 14 .. THE WILSON HOUSE - BILL WILSON'S GRAVESITE ..

The small cemetery that Bill Wilson and his wife Lois Burnham Wilson are buried in is on the southern edge of the village of East Dorset, Vermont on the west side of US Highway 7 that passes through the village.



Bill's grave is on the lower right of the below photo.  Lois's grave is to the left of Bill's grave.







At the foot of Bill's grave is the below marker.


I have very few words to add to the below photos.

 



 
A time for very quiet reflection.

 
I wish you all could visit.  It is a very special place on this earth.

  3. Thank you for this information. I attend another fellowship and have been clean for quite a while. Was in Rutland earlier today and learned Bill W was from this area. I owe his work and inspired work my life, unequivocally. The 12 steps have not only saved my life but given me a gift words cannot describe. I will be going to his grave and paying my respects.
