- from "The Hammond Advertiser", 22 Jul 1926 (findagrave.com)
The sad news reached, us Wednesday that Orlo McWilliams had passed away at the Hepburn hospital in Ogdensburg, following an operation for appendicitis, on Sunday. Favorable reports came and his recovery was hoped for, but he failed to rally. He died Wednesday at one P.M. The body was brought to his farm home here Wednesday night. The funeral was held at his late home Friday afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by Rev. Walter Anderson and interment was at Ingham cemetery. Orlo was a young man, only 27 years of age, and of splendid character and nature and seemingly he had a bright future before him. He was married July 10th, 1923 to Miss Evelyn Ackerman and they had spent three years on his fathers farm, near here. He leaves his wife and a three months old daughter, also his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. E. O. McWilliams and one brother, Robert, to grieve for him. His untimely death brings sorrow to all the people of our little village and our sympathy goes out to his family, who have been cast into such sudden gloom.
