    3. "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 31, No 18, p 3, Apr. 29, 1875. In Carlston, Freeborn Co., Minn., April 11th, 1875, of congestion of the lungs, J. William McWilliam, aged 31 years. Deceased was the oldest son of John and Charlotte McWilliam, and was born in Allegany county, N. Y. The parents embraced the Sabbath under the labors of Eld. O. P. Hull, in Albion, Wis., and Mrs. McWilliam was the first person whom he baptized. They removed to Greene county, Iowa, in 1855, where they have ever remembered the "Sabbath of the Lord," and raised their family in its observance. Some seven or eight years ago, Eld. Hull went from Alden to visit them, and during the visit, he baptized William and a younger brother, the last work of the kind which he ever performed. About two years subsequent to this, these two brothers came to Carlston, Minn., and united with the church in that place, of which William remained a respected member while he lived. He married in Alden, and his wife embraced the Sabbath, and became a member of the church with him. He left to his friends the assurance of a firm trust in the merits of Jesus Christ for pardon and salvation. His funeral was largely attended at Alden. Words of comfort by the writer from Thes. 4: 13-18. D. P. C. http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jonsaunders
