Iowa City Press-Citizen 06 June 1906
From the Iowa City Press-Citizen 06 June 1906, pg. 4
William Cress, a pioneer of Riverside, died in an Iowa City hospital, Saturday
night, aged about 80.
He was recovering after a major operation, performed for strangulated hernia,
two weeks ago, but a sudden weakening of the heart, during the last week, with
complications ensuing, hastened his dissolution.  He was a farmer of prominence,
in Washington county, for years; then an early day proprietor of a general
merchandise store; and finally, lived, retired, at Riverside.
His widow and four sons survive.  Dr. George Cress of Wheatland, Iowa, is an
alumnus of the college of dentistry, S. U. I., class of 1902; and Dr. Earl
Cress, a physician and surgeon of Minnesota is a former university student also.
 Chester resides at North Liberty; and Cloyd, at home, Riverside.
Mr. Cress was highly esteemed in his community, and also in Johnson county,
where he was well-known.  Many friends, therefore, will grieve.
