Aged Citizen Passed Away.
On Firday{sic} morning last Wm. P. Rima passed away at his home in the first ward after an illness of only a few days. Although he has been in failing health and experienced difficulty in getting about for several years, he has been as active as his condition would permit and for a long time was in the express business. Mr. Rima was a native of Ohio where he was born on Nov. 25, 1836. He has resided in Winneshiek county since 1874 and is survived by his wife and six children. The funeral was held Monday. Rev. Wn. McVettie officiated and the remains were interred in Phelps cemetery.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows his name was Williston and that he died June 21, 1912
