Death of MIR. Williams.

On last Friday evening the many
friends of Mr.. John M. Williams were
deeply grieved to hear of his death,
which occurred about s o'clock at the
home of his son, Hayes Williams, on
Second and Parmenter streets. Mr..
Williams had been in failing health
Tor more than a year, and had been
confined to his bed for several weeks
and his death came to him as a great
relief from suffering.
Mr.. Williams was born in Cass
county, Missouri, nearly sixty years
ago, and had been prominent in the
business life of his home state before
coming to this section in 1906. He
lived for a year on the Smith and Will
liams farm north of Morse, and then
moved to Lamar where he entered at
once into the active business life of
the city, and soon took leading part
in all its most progressive business de-
velopments.
In 1908 he organized the Citizens
State Bank, which from that time un-
I'll II closed its doors last May was one
OF the big financial institutions of this
section of the state. Mr.. Williams
was president of this bank and was
also largely interested in land and the
stock business, but the period of Sc
we're deflation following the war prov
ed too severe drain on his resources,
and the worry caused by the difficult
ties in which the bank became involv-
ed had much to do with his sickness.
Mr. Williams was a man of strong
character and noted for many charit-
able and kindly acts. He leaves a
widow and two sons, Hayes and Don
aid Williams, to mourn his loss. One
daughter, Mrs. Helen Williams Hasty,
died at her home near Lamar several
years ago.
The funeral service was held on
Sunday from the Baptist church OF
which he had been a long time men,
ber and also member of the board
The services were conducted by Rev
I. F.. Kelly assisted by Rev. L. B.
Logan of the Methodist church. The
church was filled with friends of the
deceased and the overflow crowd or
the outside was almost as large as
those obtaining seats. A long line OF
autos filled with members of the fam
lily and friends followed the remains to
their resting place in Riverside Gem
etery beside his daughter, who had
gone before.
