DEATH OF A PIONEER
In the death of Mrs. Rebecca Wollam, which occurred yesterday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W.O. Layton, one of the earlier residents of this section of the state passed away. Mrs. Wollam was in comparatively good health until last week Friday when she suffered a paralytic stroke. Since then her decline had been gradual, and she quietly passed away at 2:30 o'clock.
Mrs. Wollam was a native of Ohio and born on April 16, 1826. Her husband died about ten years ago, and since then she has made her home with her children. She with her family came to Minnesota in 1858 and settled in Traverse. For the past seven years she has been living with her daughter, Mrs. W.O. Layton. Mrs. Wollam was one of the best known of the older residents of this section and was held in high esteem. She was of a generous and social nature, and her death leaves a void in the ranks of the pioneers.
She is survived by four daughters and two sons: Mrs. William Volk, of Mankato; Mrs. H.C. Davis, of Cleveland; H.B. Wollam, of Argyle; Mrs. W.O. Layton and Mrs. Simpson, of St. Peter; and Thomas Wollam, of Traverse.
Funeral services will be held at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W.O. Layton, tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, and the burial will be in Greenhill cemetery.
