MCWILLIAM FUNERAL AT PLEASANT HILL

Funeral services for Thos. McWilliam, who died in Colorado last week, as states in The Democrat, were held at the Pleasant Hill church Sunday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. Harry V. McColloch, pastor of the Presbyterian church.

A service was held at Loveland, Colo., last Wednesday. Mrs. McWilliam and two daughters, Mrs. Hugh Miller and Mrs. Chas. D. Miller, the latter two having gone to Colorado upon receipt of word their father was in a critical condition, accompanied the remains home, arriving here Friday at noon.

A quartette from the Memphis Presbyterian church, composed of Mrs. Grace Williams, Mrs. E. F. Bertram, Mrs. J. C. Woodsmall and John J. Weigner sang, with Mrs. Helen Kirkpatrick, accompanying in the piano. Burial was in the Pleasant Hill cemetery.

The news of death of Mr. McWilliam came as a great shock to his many friends and relatives in Scotland county for when he visited here late last summer he appeared to be in much better health than he had been before moving to Loveland, Colorado.

Word of his illness was received Sunday, the 8th and his death occurred on Monday night the 9th of December. He had been ill with pneumonia only a short time. He was 69 years, 9 months and 12 days old.

Thomas McWilliam was born near Downing, Missouri, February 27th, 1860, and was the son of Crawford and Elizabeth McWilliam. He was united in marriage to Ida Cone March 18th, 1885. To this union five daughters were born, the oldest Mary Elizabeth dying in infancy. He is survived by his wife and four daughters—Mrs. Hugh Miller and Mrs. Chas. Miller, of Memphis, and Mrs. Earle Slavin and Mrs. Carl Mathes of Downing, twelve grandchildren; one brother, John McWilliam of Downing; one sister, Mrs. H. T. Drake of Memphis.

Early in life Mr. McWilliam united with the Presbyterian church at Pleasant Hill but later moved his membership to Loveland, Colorado. In each church he served as an Elder for a number of years. His life was a constant testimony to the truth and power of the Christian faith and to his zeal, fidelity and consecration in the Master's service and her fellow-church members bear grateful testimony to his faithfulness. As a man he was courteous, kind, generous and a delightful companion. His goal in life was not greatness, but goodness. As a friend he was true, sincere, helpful and unselfish in his desire to be of service. His humor was contagious and irresistible, his piety sweet and attractive. This influence in the community grew steadily and when he died it was generally declared in Loveland, "No man in Loveland will be missed more than Mr. McWilliam for his generous hospitality and courteous treatment." He was a kind and devoted father.
