Fannie Louise Wilson DuBose of Gable, died June 1, 2010, at the home of her daughter in Charlotte. She would have been 93 years old on June 29, 2010. A native of Blythewood, S.C., she was the daughter of Charles Dagnal Wilson and Katherine McLean Wilson. She was preceded in death by her husband, Frank Elsivan (F.E.) DuBose Jr. of Gable.
