Hood will preach the funeral sermon at services at 2 p.m. The remains will be borne to the last resting place in Evergreen cemetery on a special flag bedecked military caisson, drawn by four horses, which will be brought here from Green Bay. Drummers with muffled drums, recruited from the high school band, will lead the military cortege from the church to the cemetery and a military salute will be fired at the grave by a squad from Company E Wisconsin National Guard. In addition to Company E there will be delegations in the procession from the Spanish American War veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion posts and the Women's Relief Corps. Pall bearers will be from the Legion, Spanish War Veterans and Veterans of Foreign Wars. Frank Braun, who by the death of Mr. Williams is the last surviving member of the old H. M. Walker Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, will not be able to attend the funeral of his comrade. He is in poor health and unable to leave his home on Route 5. The body was removed to the Williams home on North Tenth street late today from the Shimek and Schwartz Funeral home, and may be viewed there until in a.m. on Friday, when the Women's Relief Corps will hold brief services and the body will be brought to the St. James church where it will lie in state until 2 p.m., the hour of the services. The closest relative of Jacob Williams is a niece, Miss Jean Johnsrud, who made her home with him. Captain Arthur Dow, driver of the car in which Mr. Williams was a passenger and which overturned pinning the latter under it and causing his death, was reported today to be recovering from the nervous shock which he suffered."
