JAMES WILLIAMSON.

James Williamson, a widely known resident of Hollidaysburg, died at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. B. I. Gunnett, of 404 Eleventh street,
last evening at 9 o'clock.  Death was due to Bright's disease from
which he had suffered for the past six years.  He had been bedfast for
the past week.

Mr. Williamson was born in Hollidaysburg on March 12, 1854, and had
spent his entire life there until last fall, when he came to this city
to reside with his daughter, at whose home he died.  He was married on
January 8, 1873, and was employed in the iron works at the county
capital for many years.  Later he conducted a livery stable.  He was
the father of eleven children, three of whom are deceased.  His wife
survives with these children: Mrs. Alfred Frederick, of Hollidaysburg;
Mrs. B. I. Gunnett, Mrs. C. W. Pope, both of this city; Frank, of
California; G. L., R. C. and I. W. Williamson, all of this city, and a
sister, Mrs. Mary Miller, of Altoona.  Fourteen grandchildren also
survive.  He was a member of the First Baptist church of Altoona.
