    Notes 
    • The WHS Wisconsin Genealogy Index shows an Edwards M Williams born in Waupaca County on 30 Oct 1887.

      Shown in the 1900 census as having not attended school in the previous 12 months.

      In the 1905 state census, he lives with his parents in Merrill.

      In the 1910 census, he is single and living with his parents in Wausau. He has no occupation.

      He registered for the draft on June 5, 1917, in Marathon County as Claude R Williams. He claimed a wife, child, and mother were dependent upon him. He was a stenographer and bookkeeper for Rigner & Ringle in Wausau. He was described as tall and stout with gray eyes and light brown hair. He claimed to have “bad eyes.” He lived at 616 Third Avenue South in Wausau.

      He appears to be included in the 1920 census in a very faint census image for Wausau’s 3rd Ward. His address was 707 Jefferson. His wife’s name is Elna or Edna and his son’s name is Gordon. Gordon appears to be 4 years old; the ages of Claude and his wife are not legible.

      From the Wausau Daily Herald, 3 Mar 1936 edition:

      Claude R. Williams, law clerk in the office of Regner and Ringle, passed away at his home, 602 Seymour Street, yesterday afternoon after a ten days’ illness with pleural pneumonia. His widow and son, Gordon Spencer, and his father, Edward Williams of this city survive.
