The Grim Reaper
HARLAM WILLIAMS
Harlam Williams, an old and respected citizen, passed away at the home of his 
son, George, southeast of town, on Monday of this week, after an illiness of 
several weeks.  The funeral services were held yesterday at two o'clock from 
the Free Methodist church, the pastor, Rev. C.A. Evans, conducting the 
service.  After the services the remains were taken to the Gothland cemetery 
for interment.
Harlam Williams was born in state of Ohio June 30, 1838, and departed this 
life April 17, 1916, at the age of 77 years, 9 months and 26 days.  On August 
20, 1859 he was united in marriage to Amanda E. Mickel.  To this union were 
born six children-three boys and three girls-all of whom, except one son, 
George, have preceded their father in death. After spending some years in 
Michigan he moved with his family to Iowa, where they resided for five years.  
During the year 1890 they moved from Iowa, coming to South Dakota and located 
in the vicinity of Beresford, where he continued his residence up to the time 
of his death.  His wife preceded him to their eternal home about five years 
ago. Since that time he has made his home with his son, George.
Besides his son he leaves six grandchildren to mourn his passing.  Mr. 
Williams was well known throughout this part of the country.  He was energetic 
and although for some years he has not enjoyed the best of health he has at 
all times born his suffering with fortitude and cheerfulness and his one 
object seemed to be to brighten the lives of those with whom he came in 
contact.  The sympathy of all will go out to those who mourn.
