sincere mourners that he has chosen
Ia make his home elsewhere. Mr.
Williams has held many positions Of
trust in the city and county and 10
them he has always devoted the
same fidelity and care which he has
given his private business. He
banked his all on the success of
Webster and Day county and his
success has been earned by harl and
earnest endeavor and has been
shared by others to the extent Of
their confidence and individual
efforts. No citizen of Webster will
be missed more and no one could
carry away with him so many
expressions Of hope for success and
regret OF departure as he will when
he goes to Duluth.
Mr.. Williams will retain his
interest in and presidency of the
Farmers and Merchants National
bank of this city, also his interest IN
the lumber and grain business
throughout South Dakota. The
banking, lumber and grain business
will be under the active manage.
ment of Mr.. Williams brother, john,
who has been associated with him
since 1891, and A. T. Cooper, who
has been an associate in business
since 1908. These gentlemen have
been actively associated in the man,
agement OF these lines during all
the years of their residence here; in
fact the details of the business has
been almost solely in their hands,
Mr.. Williams having had supervi
sion over them which he
will continue although established
in his new location at Duluth. So
while Mr.. David Williams changes
his residence and assumes new
duties and responsibilities, the man
agement of the business in which be
is interested in Webster will practi
cally remain unchanged, and because
of his larger field, connections and
opportunities is bound to greatly
strengthen that already sound and
well known banking institution, the
Farmers and Merchants National
bank of Webster.
In conclusion we can only say we
wish Mr.. Williams and his estimable
wife and little daughter health and
happiness in their new home.
