6-Year Old Girl Dies Suddenly of Polio Attack Early Sunday
Judith Williamson is County’s 2nd victim
Poliomyelitis claimed its second victim of Manitowoc county when Judith Irene
Williamson, 6-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Williamson, 416 St. Clair
street, died suddenly of the disease at 3 a.m. Sunday. The first case was a 22-
year-old woman at Newton a week ago. Health authorities reported that the child
apparently was in good health and complained only of a slight stomach ache during
the evening. Later, she fell asleep and died before a physician could be summoned.
Private funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the First Lutheran church
with the Rev. C. L. Hinderlie officiating. Burial was in Evergreen cemetery.
Born in Manitowoc in 1940, Judith is survived by her parents; two brothers, Billy
of Chicago and Tom at home; three sisters, Margaret, Barbara and Carol at home…
