River Reclaims Albert Williams From Des Moines River
The body of Albert Williams, age 18, was recovered from the Des Moines River near the old slaughterhouse after volunteers swam the river and hauled a raft across a rope. He was found six feet from the water, wearing an overcoat and coat missing after the drowning. Funeral services were held Friday at the Baptist Church. Williams was born March 1, 1906 in Colorado Springs, moved to town last year, and had a history of near escapes due to illness. The remains were prepared at Mahlum and Anderson undertakers.
