Mrs. Willie Williams Dead
Passed Away at Her Home at Gruver Friday Evening
Mrs. Willie Williams died at her home in Gruver last Friday [August 24, 1906] in her twenty-first year.

Mrs. Williams (whose maiden name was Susie Johnson) was born on the Johnson homestead near Swan Lake June 12, 1886. She was married five years ago to Willie Williams. Three children were born to this union, two of whom died in infancy. She was a member of the Lutheran church. The funeral services were held from the Gruver Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon conducted by Rev. Strand of Wallingford. Interment was made at Swan Lake where her father, brother, a sister and two children were laid to rest before her. She is survived by her husband, mother, a brother, two sisters and a child two years old.

The bereaved ones have the sympathy of many friends. (Estherville Daily News, Estherville, IA, August 29, 1906)
