Dakota County Herald Fri Apr 3, 1908

Homer Free Press: William Holsworth died somewhat
suddenly at his home in Dakota county on March
24, 1908. He had been afflicted with apoplexy for
some little time and was found in the yard about
a week before his death, suffering with a stroke
of that disease. He was born at Pittsburg, Pa., 
March 4, 1841, dying at the age of 67 years and
20 days. When he was a boy his parents moved to
Ohio, in which state he graduated from a high
school, and later from a law school. When a young
man he went to Wisconsin for a time, where he
taught school. He married on August 19, 1867, 
at Watertown, Wis, to a cousin, Miss Mary
Holsworth, and in April of the next year came to
Dakota county and took a homestead, where he
has since resided, making him one of our early
pioneers. He has held a number of minor offices
in the county, was chosen as state representative
from this district in 1884, to which trust he
was true and stood for that which he deemed right
and just. Last fall he made a trip east to once
more visit his old home, and remaining friends,
realizing it would be the last time he would view
the familiar sights that brought back to his mind,
as if it were but yesterday, the gleeful days
of his light-hearted childhood. He was a man who
thought a great deal of his friends, and they in
turn had great love for "Uncle Billy" as he was
so commonly known in his old age.
Funeral services were held from the house at one
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, the Rev. E. H.
Combs officiating. Interment was had in Omadi
cemetery. The pall bearers were as follows: S. A.
Combs, S. A. Brown, J. H. Rockwelll, T D Curtis, 
Ed Maurice and Rasmus Fredricksen. The surviving
relatives are Mrs. Mary Holsworth and nine
children: Charles, Mrs Wm Speir, of Winnebago;
Wm H, Mrs Ed Pilgrim, Clara E., Thomas R.,
Elizabeth, Matilda, and Benjamin Harrison.
Five grand children: Mamie, Bessie and Julia
Holsworth, the children of Charles; Louis W.
Pilgrim; and Eva Holsworth, daughter of Wm H
Deceased is the last member of his family.
