Mouse River Farmers Press; Towner, McHenry Co., N.D.; Friday, April 27, 1923
John Willits, brother of Mrs. Potter of Granville, and uncle of Mrs. Robert 
Burville, died at the home of his daughter in Paris, Ont., last week. Mr. 
Willits was over 96 years of age at the time of his death and his mind 
remained clear until the last. Uncle John, as Mr. Willits was best known to 
the old timers of this vicinity, was an early settler in McHenry county and 
several of his children were located here at one time, his son, Hardie 
Willits, conducting one of the first stores at Bantry. Uncle John was a 
sturdy, God-fearing man, one of the very best types of those pioneers who came 
out from Ontario and helped to lay the foundation both in western Canada and 
in North Dakota.
