Died, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. John Colburn, who lives about three miles from Palmer, William R. Jolls, on Wednesday, October 15, aged 73 years, 1 month and 23 days. Mr. Jolls was born August 29, 1829 in Cattarogus county, New York, and was married February 19, 1854 to Miss Susan Pierce. They lived in New York until 1865, when they removed to Minnesota but remained about one year when they went to Iowa. They remained in Iowa a short time when they moved to Michigan. In 1874 they came to Nebraska and settled near Palmer, where they lived until about eight years ago, when they moved to St. Paul, purchasing property in the southeast part of the city.
His wife died about three years ago, since which time he has made his home with his son, B. E. Jolls of this city.
Four children survive him - F. S. Jolls, who lives at Fredonia, N. Y.; B. E. Jolls of this city; Mrs. John Colburn and Mrs. Abe Colburn who live near Palmer.
Mr. Jolls was an upright, honest conscientious man. He always enjoyed good health and was very active for a man of his years. He was taken with a severe cold but thought nothing of it for a day or two, when he became rapidly worse. A doctor was summoned who pronounced the case pneumonia. It had taken such a secure hold upon him that he succumbed in a few days. Rev. Stanton Olinger of this city conducted the funeral services, the body being laid to rest in the cemetery near Palmer.
The bereaved ones have the sympathy of a host of friends.
