Saranac Advertiser
WILLIAMS, CASSIUS:
   THE ADVERTISER, SARANAC, MI; June 27, 1917, front page:  "Found in Grand
River - Cash Williams returned from Grand Rapids, Sunday, June 3, and went to
the Commercial Hotel, where he boarded.  He slept until late Monday, when he got
up he was despondent, but as he had been in that condition before, none took him
seriously.  He left the hotel that evening and that was the last seen of him
until Thursday evening, when Fred Pardee discovered his body in a pile of
rubbish near where Lake Creek empties into Grand River, west of the bridge.  It
is probable that he went from the hotel to the river and that his body had been
in the river since.  The body was taken to the Densmore Undertaking rooms and
was buried on Friday afternoon, the service being held at the grave.  His wife
died some time ago.  He leaves five children."
