Father of Sup. Jos. Willott Called to His Rest
Joseph Willott, Sr., resident of the city for forty years and well known for
many years as head of the Willott Axe Factory Co., passed peacefully away at
the home of his daughter Mrs. B. Sniffins this morning. Mr. Willott had been
in poor health for some time and his advanced age of 89, made the fight against
death an unequal one.

America in 1867, locating in Indiana and five years later came to Manitowoc.
For thirty years Mr. Willott was engaged in the manufacturing business, first
associated with the firm of Willott & Markham and later with his sons.
Mr. Willott is survived by five children, Mrs. S. Bates, Capron, Ill.; Jos.
Willott, Jr., Mrs. B. Sniffins, this city; Mrs. Andrew Smith, Appleton; Sam
Willott, Two Rivers.
The funeral will be held from the Sniffins home, 505, State street.
