Mrs. Pauline Williams, one of Iowa's earliest pioneers, is dead of pneumonia at her home, 1105 North Second street. Mrs. Williams passed away at 10 o'clock Monday evening, after a two weeks' illness.

The funeral will be held from the family home at 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon, in charge of Rev. F. H. Burrell, rector of St. John's Episcopal church. Interment will be in Oakland cemetery.

Mrs. Williams was born in Indiana, and came to Clinton with her family in the early '40s. They lived for years on the site of the present golf grounds and the family is widely known. Surviving Mrs. Williams are two sisters, Mrs. Gibbs and Mrs. Josephine Cook of Clinton, two other sisters having preceded her in death.

Intelligence of the death of Mrs. Williams was received with deep regret by hundreds of her old time friends in Clinton and vicinity this morning.
