In the 1880 census (June 21st), William Williams is living in the village of High Forest in Olmsted County, MN. The household consists of William Williams, 30, Tilda, 35, Andrew, 3, Wilhelmina, 5 mos., brother Andrew, 27, and brother Edward, 20. Although William is shown as having been born in Wisconsin, and his parents in Norway, the rest of the household (Tilda, both Andrews, and Edward), except Wilhelmina, are shown as having been born in Norway and both parents in Norway. Wilhelmina is shown as born in Minnesota although both parents in Norway.

In the 1885 state census, the family is still in High Forest. The household is William Williams, 34, his wife Tora, 38 and born in Norway, and their children (all born in Minnesota): Andrew O., 7, Wilhelmina, 5, Ida C., 3, and Mable B., 10 months.

In the 1895 state census, William Williams is a blacksmith in Stewartville, Olmsted County. The clearly-challenged census-taker listed the family as William, 44, Hildia, 50, Andrew, 17, Alemeno, 15, Ada, 13, and Isabell, 11. William had lived in the state for 20 years, 6 months.

In the 1900 census (June 5th), the family is still living in High Forest, which is now a township, in Olmsted County. The village they live in is Stewartville. The family consists of William O. (born Aug 1851), Tildie (born May 1845), Wilhelmina A. (born Jan 1880), Ida C. (born Oct 1881), and Mable B. (born July 1884). The daughters were all born in Minnesota.

There is a biographical sketch of Andrew in the 1895 history of the upper Wisconsin River counties.

The facts and events shown here assume that Ove’s son Andrew is the Andrew Williams living on Maple Street in Waupaca in the 1900 census. He was a railroad officer.

In the 1908 Bellingham, Washington, city directory, he is Andrew Williams, sheriff of Whatcom County, living at the Whatcom County Courthouse.

In the 1910 and 1911 Bellingham city directories, he is a deputy U.S. Marshal living at 1513 E.

In the 1910 census, that Andrew was a widower living on E Street in Bellingham, Whatcom County, Washington. Living with him was Bert, 23, a railroad clerk, Lynde, 21, no occupation, and Esther, 17, no occupation. Andrew is a U. S. Marshal.

He is not listed in the 1912 Bellingham directory.

In the 1914 and 1917 directories, he is still living at 1513 E. His occupation is “merchant patrol.” (This is probably his son.)

In the 1918 Bellingham directory, he lives at 1513 E. His occupation is “police.”

In the 1920 Bellingham directory, he lives with his daughter and her family at 1408 Humboldt. He is a desk sergeant for the Bellingham police department.

In the 1921 Bellingham directory, he lives at 2610 Michigan. Andrew is a desk sergeant for the police department.

In the 1923 Bellingham directory, he still lives at 2610 Michigan. No occupation.

An article in the February 12, 1925, edition of the Bellingham Herald:

Mathes’ administration, died this morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Esther Day, at Okanogan, Washington. He had been in ill health for several months. A telegram telling of his death was received by W. W. Fairburn.

Mr. Williams had lived in Bellingham for many years and was esteemed by hundreds of Bellingham residents. He was one of the county’s most popular violinists of the old school, delighting to play for old-time dances. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Esther Day, and one son, Lynde Williams, now at Okanogan. Mr. Williams was a member of the Bellingham Bay Lodge, No. 44, F, & A. M. The remains will be received Friday night by O. R. Hollingsworth.

Commemorative Biographical Record of the Upper Wisconsin Counties: Waupaca, Portage, Wood, Marathon, Oneida, Vilas, Langlade and Shawano” by Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co. 1895

Boie Williams, familiarly known as “Buck” Williams is one of the prosperous leading business men and substantial citizens of Iola, Waupaca county.

Mr. Williams was born December 24, 1857, in Scandinavia township, Waupaca county. His father, Ove Williamson, was born in Norway, January 20, 1819, was educated in the schools of his native land, and the days of his boyhood and youth were passed upon the farm. His marriage to Miss Annie Kjos took place in Norway in 1844, and five years later, in 1849, he crossed the Atlantic in a sailing vessel to the New World, where he hoped to secure a home and competence. He first located in Muskegon, where he worked as common laborer some three years, coming thence to Waupaca county in 1853. He was one of the first settlers, and is now the second oldest living resident in Scandinavia township. The hardships and trials of pioneer life are familiar to him, and the history of that county is known to him from the days when it was almost unbroken wilderness, inhabited mostly by Indians. He has borne an important part in the work of development, transforming the land from its uncultivated condition into rich and valuable farms. Here he purchased 160 acres of wild land, on which not a furrow had been turned or an improvement made, and successfully continued its cultivation until 1884, when enfeebled health caused him to lay aside business cares, and he is now living a retired life. He worked for many years on the river, rafting logs, and his career has been that of an industrious and energetic man, bringing to him a well-merited competence. He is a stanch Republican in politics and has served in several local offices with credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents. He filled the office of assessor for twelve years and has also been township treasurer. He and his family are members of the Lutheran Church, Mrs. Williamson, who was born in Norway September 29, 1820, is also yet living. Their children were: Annie, now the wife of August Larson, a resident of Wausau; William, who is living in La Crosse, Wis; Andrew, the efficient sheriff of Waupaca county; Berit, deceased; Denah; Boie, subject of this sketch, Edward Ove, of Waupaca; Anton G., a farmer of Scandinavia township; and Lewis B., deceased.

Our subject attended the rude district schools of the home neighborhood up to the age of fifteen years, when he left the school room and began work as a farm hand, as his services were not needed at home. For one year he was thus employed, receiving $12 per month, and on the expiration of that time he began learning harness making with Andrew Moberg, of Amherst, Wis., where he worked for three years, going thence to Wausau, Wis., being employed at his trade Ernest Felling. After spending two years in Wausau Mr. Williams returned to Scandinavia township, where he followed his trade; but as work was dull and scarce he hired out as a farm hand to a Mr. Turner, of Belmont township, Portage Co., Wis. Later he went to Winona, Minn., where he remained for one year, and then secured the position as driver of a creamery wagon in High Forest, that State. Subsequently he and his brother Andrew (afterward sheriff of Waupaca county) took up new farms in Faulk county, S. Dak., which section was then very wild and unsettled. Besides the improvements they made on their own homestead they also did “breaking” for others, their home during this time being in a little shanty out on the prairie, where our subject acted as cook. At the end of a year, however, he returned to High Forest, where he again drove a wagon for the creamery, being engaged thus for some time.

While there Mr. Williams was united in marriage, in September, 1886, with Miss Clara Juelson. By her marriage she has become the mother of four children, all of whom are still living-Arthur J., Edwin M., Walter L. and Clara A. The parents are members of the Lutheran Church. In the fall of 1886 Mr. Williams returned to Scandinavia township, and the following spring, on the advice of his friends, opened a harness shop in Iola, which he has since conducted with excellent success. He first began in a small building on State street, which he rented, his capital at that time comprising only his savings, and his honest, industrious efforts won for him an increasing trade, enabling him to purchase his shop. In 1892, however, he erected a substantial brick building on Main street, adjoining his present room, which later he sold out, and in 1893 built his present commodious brick business house, the largest harness shop in Iola.

Mr. Williams is one of the most prosperous businessmen in Waupaca county, wide-awake and pushing, and is destined to become a wealthy man. His excellent workmanship and honest dealings have brought him a large trade, and he enjoys the respect and confidence of all with whom he has business or social dealings. Besides his shop, he also owns his pleasant home, which has been built since locating in Iola. Mr. Williams is an earnest advocate of the principles of the Republican party, and, while no politician, has served in various official capacities, having been constable and city marshal (one year), and he is at present one of the city councilmen.

His obit in the Stevens Point Journal said the he had been born on the Williams farm “on the Scandinavia road about four miles east of town. He had come to Amherst as a young man as an apprentice to Andrew Moberg in the harness shop. He was a faithful worker for Mr. Moberg three or four years. Later he owned and operated a shop in Iola. In 1896, he was appointed postmaster of Iola, a position he held for over 18 years. On account of poor health, he was forced to resign and the family moved to California. He passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Harry Eichler.

Anton G. WILLIAMS was born August 24, 1862, on the farm which he now owns and occupies in the township of Scandinavia, Waupaca County.

His father, Ove WILLIAMSON, was born in Norway January 20, 1819, was educated in the schools of his native land, and the days of his boyhood and youth were passed upon the farm. His marriage to Miss Annie KJOS took place in Norway in 1844, and five years latter in 1849, he crossed the Atlantic in a sailing vessel to the New World, where he hoped to secure a home and competence. He first located in Muskego, Wis., where he worked as a common laborer some three years, coming thence to Waupaca County in 1853. He was one of the first settlers, and is now the second oldest living resident in Scandinavia Township. The hardships and trail of pioneer life are familiar to him, and the history of that county are known to him from the days when it was an almost unbroken wilderness, inhabited mostly by Indians. He has borne an important part in the work of development, transforming the land from its uncultivated condition into rich and valuable farms. Here he purchased 160 acres of wild land, on which not a furrow had been turned or an improvement made, and successfully continued its cultivation until 1884, when enfeebled health caused him to lay aside business cares, and he is now living a retired life.

Anton G. WILLIAMS conned his lessons in the public schools near his home, and acquired a good practical educations.

An article in the Bellingham Herald, May 1, 1925:

Andrew Lynde Williams Jr., son of the late “Andy” Williams, veteran police chief of Bellingham, and Whatcom County Sheriff, who died at Okanogan recently, was committed to the Northern State hospital at Sedro-Woolley, at conclusion of a sanity hearing in the superior court Thursday afternoon. The younger Williams’ condition, it was said, followed as a result of a series of accidents and severe disappointments. Early this year he went to Alaska to work at one of the fish canneries but was brought back last week when his condition became worse.

Treatment at the Northern State Hospital is expected to result in improvement. As a youth, he is recalled as a star player in the backfield of Whatcom high school’s football team. He foremerly served on the Bellingham police department, in which latter service deafness developed. The young man gained recognition for his services in the aviation at Kelly field during the world war. The story is told that he faked his way into the army air service by reading the physical examiner’s lips, having acquired that ability after becoming partially deaf.

In the 1930 census, he is living with his sister and family in Bellingham. He was a steamship mechanic. That census shows that Andrew was a veteran of the World War.

An obit in the Bellingham Herald, headlined Lynde Williams Dies, in the September 13, 1930 edition:

Lynde (Windy) Williams, son of the late Andy Williams, veteran police officer and one time sheriff and acting chief of police, died after a brief illness today on a ranch in Okanogan county where he had spent the greater part of the last ten years.

Williams was a former member of the local fire and police departments and also served for some time as night merchant patrolman. He also made several trips to Alaska with P.A.F. crews and, since leaving Bellingham, made a few trips as assistant engineer on ocean steamers.

During his high school days at Whatcom, Williams was a football star, playing on the same team with Fred Spenger, Ben Tidball, Tom Gaffney, Starr Sutherland and other well remembered players.

So far as could be learned here, the only close relative surviving is a sister, Mrs. Layman (Esther) Day, who resides on the Okanogan farm. Williams was about 38 years of age.

An article in the September 16, 1930, edition of the Bellingham Herald notes that Lynde Williams was given a military funeral, officiated by the local Albert J. Hamilton post of the American Legion. Williams had been a charter member of the post. During the World War, he was a sergeant first class in the air service.

Notes:

Notes:

In the 1940 census, she was Joy Geraldine, age 21. She was a stenographer for the U.S. Forest Service and had made $553 in 1939. She had one year of college. She had lived in Pullman in Whitman County in 1935 although her parents and sister had lived in Okanogan.

She was Joy Day in the State College of Washington-Pullman yearbook of 1936.

Her obit:

Joy Sullivan’s life spanned nearly a century. Her mother Esther Williams (later known as Gah) was the Whatcom County Sheriff’s daughter who learned to drive on a fire truck and was the first woman to strip off her long stockings to swim in Bellingham Bay. Her father Lyman (Gus) Day was a seaman on the first ship to travel through the Panama Canal en route to the West Coast. When ashore, he fell in love with Esther. Esther and Lyman married and settled in Bellingham where Joy was born.

Joy was a child of the depression. Esther and Lyman purchased an apple orchard and moved with Joy and her sister Bill to the hills of Okanogan. It was a hard life – an outdoor privy and bathwater heated on the stove. Hers was a happy childhood. She was a pianist, violinist, and a voracious reader. Their home was a magnet for friends, welcomed day and night with food, music, and joy. After many years, the orchard became a victim of the depression and was repossessed by the bank. The family moved permanently to Seattle.

From an early age, Joy had a delightful sense of humor. She regaled in stories of her embarrassment.  The home brew exploded in the bathtub when the temperance-preaching school board president was present. She drove her father’s car into a ditch, after which he unfairly promptly removed the motor and transferred it to a tractor. The family horse Barney would immediately sit whenever she mounted him. Her much-adored “bratty little sister” hid in the apple tree witnessing her kissing a boyfriend and telling all in a message Joy discovered opening her suitcase on her first day at college.

Bill often described Joy as ‘the smartest student in their school.’As valedictorian, Joy was awarded a full scholarship to Pullman where she became a Chi Omega. She was self-depreciating. She often recalled that “she entered to study music and languages, only to discover she was good at neither.” She dropped out two years later, obtaining a position in the Bremerton Naval Yard. She was among the throngs of the heartbroken who witnessed hundreds of sailors, many who were counted as friends, return from Pearl Harbor in body bags.

Joy met her husband Ed (who grew up in Freeport, Long Island) on a train en route to Florida to see her sister. He was a handsome army lieutenant on leave to enjoy some sunshine before being deployed to the Pacific. He insists he hooked up with her because she was the only one on the train with beer. She emphatically denied this, but admittedly fell in love at first sight. They were married in New York City after knowing each other only a few weeks. They had three children – Candace (Candy), Michael (Mike) and Terrence (Terry). The marriage lasted until his death, just short of 50 years.

After Ed returned from the Army (and recovered from serious first-degree burns that occurred when repairing their car), Ed and Joy briefly lived in Liberty Lake, Washington. They later settled in Seattle where Ed was employed as a Boeing technician. Joy was active politically and served multiple times as a local precinct committeeman. She recalled family stress when she campaigned for Eisenhower and Ed for Stevenson. She was an avid supporter of Nelson Rockefeller for President (and wrote him in for many years when she disapproved of both party candidates). 

In recent years, she was a confirmed Democrat, finding that the Republican Party no longer represented her values. She proudly cast her final vote for Hillary, and fortunately did not live to see election results.

Joy was a stay-at-home mom for some 14 years. Her and Ed’s home was a hot-bed of activity. It was the gathering place for neighborhood children. There was a steady stream of friends for dinner, conversation, mushroom gathering, music, origami, and parties. She was renown for casual entertaining and outstanding cooking. She was especially recognized for her braided, home-made bread (though her children wanted Wonder Bread like all the other kids), sponge cakes, and cream puffs.

Tired of exclusively volunteering and concerned with paying upcoming college tuitions, she went to work at the University of Washington as a secretary. Her final position was in the Department of Psychiatry where she played multiple roles – researcher, editor, and office manager, as well as secretary. Her skills were recognized when a well-reviewed book “The Politics of Prostitution” was dedicated to her.

Work did not stop her volunteering. At one time she was active in three PTAs, the University Unitarian Church as a Sunday school teacher, and the Seattle Youth Symphony. Her happiest volunteer experience was serving as Secretary for the Japanese American Citizen’s League.

Upon retiring, Joy and Ed went to live on Angle Lake in her parents’ former home, a short walk from her much-loved sister Bill and brother-in-law Bud Jones. She prided herself on being a fine swimmer. She was a voracious reader. Her home was filled with books and magazines (her favorites being the New Yorker, New York Review of Books, Atlantic, and Discover). It broke her heart when her eyes began to fail and she could only read for short periods of time.
 
Ed died in 1992. She lived independently until double knee surgery in 2005 when she could no longer drive and Candy arranged for periodic home care. Terry moved in with her a few years later. Joy loved company and was known for her warm hospitality. She enthusiastically applauded performances by the Day cousin violin trio (Candy, Nancy, and Kacey), no matter how atonal.

Joy spent her final 15 months in home hospice care. Until the end, she insisted that visitors “have something to eat and come by for a swim.” She died as she wished in view of her beloved Angle Lake.

Joy mourned the recent deaths of her sister and brother-in-law, son-in-law, and close friends of her generation. She is survived by her three children and her son Mike’s wife Linda. 

The family deeply appreciates those who provided Joy with loving care in her final months. These include Robbi Badure, Saida Mukhtar, Lisa Berlin, Cynthia Finney, Chaz Lindsey, Vivian Karanja, Hannah Gikonyo, and Sarah Schott. We are also grateful to her long-standing friend Cathy Gosho whose visits and brownies cheered her days, Susan Randlett whose flowers and visits always lifted her spirits, Sun Dat who made sure she always had food and drink, Erna Brodber who shared her writings and always remembered her birthday, Niece Nancy Erickson an adored regular visitor who also took over caregiving oversight when Candy was travelling, and Nephew Andy Jones and Niece Kacey Jones Miller whose periodic visits and support brought her great joy.

A memorial celebration will be held on April 21 at 12:30 pm at Tahoma National Cemetery. It marks the occasion of what would have been her 99th birthday. The cemetery is located at 18600 SW 240th Street, Kent, WA 98042. Her husband, sister and brother-in-law, and son-in-law are buried there as well. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the Seattle Opera or Audubon.

Notes:

Articles in the Bellingham Herald in the 1930s referred to her has Belle, Bill, Billie, and Wilma.

In the 1940 census, she was Billy, a 16 year-old high school student living with her parents.

It is with heavy heart that we report to the community one of our pioneering Shore Club members and beloved neighbor, Wilma Mary Kathleen Day Jones, known to many around the lake simply as Billie, died Saturday, January 16 after a sudden illness. She was in the loving presence of family at the time of her passing. 

Born in Okanogan, Washington, Billie was the second of two daughters born to Lyman and Esther Day. She spent her girlhood on her parents' apple orchard ranch in the Boston Heights area 'chasing jackrabbits and swimming in the Okanogan River' as she would fondly remember. 

Billie briefly attended college at Washington State University, until she heeded the call of duty to her country as WWII began. She was among the first young women to venture to the other Washington and later Miami, FL, working for the government and Red Cross to help the war effort. She was thrilled with her independent life and made many friends, with whom she remained in contact for years to come.

On April 13, 1947 she married Charles Arthur Jones, a handsome U.S. Marine, whom she met on a blind date orchestrated by her mother. Bud and Billie settled in a cottage on Angle Lake, where they continued making and nurturing lifelong friendships. In their 66 years together, they lived life to the fullest; raising children, swimming and sailing, skiing, partying, traveling, and relishing the company of family and friends. Their July 4 celebrations will forever remain a staunch family tradition. In her later years, despite the weather or the month, Billie was famous for inviting anyone she met to 'come on out for a swim at Angle Lake!' 

Billie loved music, singing, dancing, and being a center of festivities. She instilled a love of music in her three children and was insistent they all learn to play an instrument. She treasured her beautiful home on Angle Lake and would express her gratitude every day for all her blessings. She is survived by her children Nancy Erickson (Glenn), Andrew Jones (Lois), and Kacey Jones Miller (Bruce) and her sister Joy Sullivan. Billie was preceded in death by her husband, her beloved 'Bud'. She cherished her eleven grandchildren. She lived to see eight of her nine great grandchildren, missing by only four days the arrival of her ninth.

Wilma married Charles Arthur (Bud) JONES on 13 Apr 1947. Charles was born on 22 Dec 1922; died on 7 Mar 2013 in Washington; was buried in Tahoma National Cemetery, Kent, Washington. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Rosalie attended country school in Center Township.  Then in 1947 the family moved to McVille where she attended McVille Public School graduating in 1954.  Rosalie married Tracy Naas on June 12, 1955, at the McVille Lutheran Church.  Rosalie and Tracy settled on the farm by Kloten where they farmed and raised four children.  She liked to stay busy and was very much at home in her kitchen making homemade bread, donuts and traditional Norwegian foods like lefse, flatbread, and cream bread.  Her family enjoyed these treats and she always made enough extra to give to neighbors and friends.  Rosalie was very caring and generous with her time and talents.  She enjoyed making quilts for hours on end to give away to under privileged people she would never meet.

On the farm, in addition to all the household tasks, she still found time to raise a garden, enjoying the produce and canning the excess in the fall.  At harvest time you could find her behind the wheel of a grain truck hauling grain to town or unloading at the farm in grain bins.

She seldom complained and was more concerned about others than herself.  Her patience and kindness were unending never expecting anything in return.

Rosalie was a loving, caring and deeply religious woman always willing to give of her time and talents to anyone in need.  Rosalie taught Sunday School, was a 4-H Leader and was involved in many other ways in the community.  After her children were grown Rosalie enjoyed driving school bus for many years for McVille Schools.  Rosalie helped take care of grandchildren and enjoyed games, camping, skiing, fishing, and bonfires on the farm.  Rosalie & Tracy lived most of their life on the farm near McVille, and spent many winters in Weslaco, TX with friends and family.
