San Francisco, Tuesday, November 22. Judge Elliot M. Wilson, 82 years old, President of the Pacific Coast Steel Company, died here today after a long illness. He leaves a sister, two nieces and other relatives in Youngstown, Ohio, where he formerly lived.

Judge Wilson was born near Shalersville, Ohio in 1845 and practiced laws in that state. He was a pioneer steel man on the Pacific Coast. He first became identified with the industry in Tacoma in 1893, later operating the Seattle Steel Company in Seattle. In a merger in 1911 the Pacific Coast Steel Company was formed. This company operated plants in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle.
