Los Angeles Times – January 24, 1906:
DIES AT BANNING
H. K. Williamson, Member of Instrument Firm, Succumbs on Desert After Long Illness
H. K. Williamson, a well-known business man of Los Angeles, died at Banning, Monday, of hemorrhage of the lungs, after having been in ill health for more than two years. His sudden death was a great shock to his friends. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, at the residence of the brother of the deceased, R. B. Williamson, No. 601 Park View avenue. Dr. J. S. Thomson of the Independent Church of Christ, will officiate and the interment will be in Rosedale cemetery. The pall-bearers will be six old Canadian friends, H. P. Philp, J. S. Splain, Richard Reed, W. A. Powell, G. B. Smith and Richard Gilbert.
H. K. Williamson was born in Bowmansville, Ontario, Canada, near Toronto, and his early youth was spent there. Later he removed to Port Hope, Ont., where he engaged in the music business with his brother, R. B. Williamson, and for ten years they conducted this enterprise there.
In 1892, the brothers came to Los Angeles, and in March of that year began the business of Williamson Brothers, dealers in musical instruments, at No. 327 South Spring street. They have remained there continuously since that period, the firm now being an incorporated one.
In 1893 Mr. Williamson married Miss Jessie Soper, who had also come to Los Angeles from Port Hope, Canada. The widow survives.
The Williamsons came to Los Angeles primarily for the benefit of the health of the senior brother. Last May he determined to try the desert air, and fitting up a wagon, he traveled overland to Thermal. After a short stay there, the intense heat drove him into the mountains back of Banning, and there he remained until about two months ago, when he went to Banning, engaged a cottage, and there was joined by his wife.
He was a member of the Royal Arcanum, and a member of the congregation of the First Church of Christ, Scientist. He held membership in the Chamber of Commerce and in the Civic League, and was always deeply interested in the growth and development of Los Angeles.
