G. M. Williams, one of the best known and substantial farmers of the Rock Creek community, passed away at the Savre Hospital Tuesday, after an
illness of short duration. He became ill with influenza February 22nd, and this, in addition to a weak heart, made recovery impossible when he
suffered a ruptured appendix.
Gustav Millard Williams was born on the old Williams homestead in Cedar Township, Mitchell County, Iowa on January 16, 1872. With the exception of one year in Osage and a few years in Meroa, he spent his whole life on his native place.
On January 22, 1893, he was married to Miss Bertha Peterson, of Orchard. His wife and the following children survive: Stanley, Chester, and Clarice
(Mrs. Lawrence) Olsen, all of this community. There is also a brother and a sister, Peter Williams and Laura Williams, both of Crookston, Minnesota
and a brother, Hellick Benson of Edmore, North Dakota.
Besides farming, Mr. Williams also worked at the carpenter trade.
He was baptized and confirmed in the Rock Creek Lutheran Church and had continued as a member until the time of his death. It is worthy of notice that he had charge of the remodeling of the Rock Creek Church edifice.
Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. O.C. Myhre at the Rock Creek Lutheran Church today, Thursday, and interment was made in the Rock Creek Lutheran Cemetery.
