Graham Williamson Dies in Coast City
Mrs. Frank McHaffie received a telegram yesterday morning announcing the death of her father, Graham Williamson, at Los Angeles, California. The shock of the death message was intensified by the fact that no intimation of Mr. William's illness had been received. He had just disposed of his interests in North Dakota to move to California. Mr. Williams was 72 years of age yesterday, the day of his death. He was a member of the Knights Templar, belonging to the North Dakota lodge. He was known to many in Missoula, where he had spent several summers with his daughter.
