Wealthy Pioneer Resident of the Town
of Paris Expires at His Home
After a Short Illness.
A PATRON OF SCHOOLS IN PARIS.
Deceased Was One of the Nestors of the
Democratic Party and Had Been
Staunch Supporter.

pioneer citizens of the town of Paris,
and well known in all parts of the
county, died at his home in the town
of Paris at one O'Clock this morning
after short illness from paralysis.
Two weeks ago this afternoon the de,
ceased suffered paralytic stroke and
he had been gradually sinking since
that time.
The death of Lewis Williams re
moves the best known resident in the
town of Paris, and N an who had been
closely connected with the interests OF
the county. He was one of the great
est friends of education that the county
has produced, and during his long life
in the county he gave much of his
time to the betterment of the public
schools of his town. While he has
amassed large fortune as farmer
he has given freely of his wealth tc
the schools of his home town, and te
the people OF Paris the death leaves a
vacancy which can never be filled
Lewis Williams was born at Radner.
shire, Wales, April u, 1920. In the
spring Of 1912 he came with his father
to this country, and at once settled in
the town of Paris. He took up sec
| ton of government land in the town
of Paris and this section formed the
| nucleus for his extensive farming in
terests which have grown during the
half century until at the time of his
death Mr.. Williams had one of the
largest farms in this section of the
State. On June 4, 1852, in the town of
Paris, Mr.. Williams was united in
marriage to Miss Margaret A. Evans,
who died Oct. %, 1875.
The deceased was one of the nestors
of the Democratic party in Kenosha
county, and while he never aspired to
hold a public Office he was always one
of the staunchest supporters of his
party. A man of strict integrity he
was repeatedly elected to place on
the Town Board in the town of Paris,
and for years he was officially connect
ed with the School Board of the town.
He took a greater interest in the
schools of Paris than any other man,
and it was always said that "educa-
ton was his hobby" All of his child
rem were given the benefits of col
lege education. It was said that at
one time Mr.. Williams was acquainted
with every school child in the town of
Paris, and it was his habit to make a
visit to every school in the town dur
ing each school year. Up to the time
of his death his interest in the schools
continued, and only short time be-
fore his death he had made them his
annual visit.
The deceased is survived by four
daughters and one son. They are Mrs.
Conner Roberts, of Paris; Mrs. Belle
Moe, of Milwaukee; L. c. Williams, of
Bristol; Miss Nellie Williams, and Mrs.
Margaret Walker, who resides in Ra-
cine county.
The funeral will be held from the
Williams home on Friday afternoon
at one O'Clock, and the remains will be
inferred in the family plat at the Gem
etery at Paris Corners.

OF Hearst they become ugly and say

to be drawn is that tho Republican
press regards Mr. Hearst as the most
dangerous candidate Mr. Rooeevelt
could possibly run up against.
Volcano Marshall is already out
Of journalism in Shanghai. He was
too swift for the snais OF the Far
East, 60 the latter cut eff his base Of

to be 90 easily outdone. Wherever
he goes two things must happen:
Tho Flag must wave, to the tune OF
the Eagles screams, or Marshall
goes to Jail. The effete East, il it
otil refuses to be Americanized had,
therefore, best keep up its picket
lines so long as Marshall is on the
home side OF its horizon.
II Turkey is throwing 100000
troops into Maoedonis, it is safe to
say that the objective is something

sion to be drawn from the despatch
OF 80 many to the rebellious dietriot
is that outside interference is be-

fearful OF more powerful antagonists.
According to an item in the morn

how was it adjusted' By the inter-

the evening press, Had it not been
publicly exposed, he would still be

been his custom for years back, and
none would have been any the wiser
today. 1t may be, in measure, a

which has never been looked into in
