Postville Review, Saturday, 22 February 1879.

Died.

February 20th, 1879, at his residence in Postville, James Williamson, aged 69 years.

Mr. Williamson, at an early day, came to this country from Scotland, and by honest industry and fair dealing he amassed a competency that stood by him in the time of need.

In the prime of manhood he became united in marriage to her (Mrs. E. Gillen) who has been his solace and comfort in his declining years.

We have been intimately associated with the deceased for 20 years, and can truly say that so far as we know, all his dealings with his fellow men were characterized by a high sense of honor and manly integrity; and though unostentacious in his religious belief, his line was a beautiful pattern of true exemplary christian conduct that will ever glow --.

When the diamond dims and its luster fades away.
