Lonnie Lionel Williams, manager of the Belsky Avenue Top meat market on Julien avenue, was taken by death at the family home, 729 Glen Oak avenue, Sunday morning at 5:30 o'clock. He had been ailing for a long time.

He was born in Blairstown, Ia., December 15, 1874, and resided there until he was two years old when his parents moved to Waukon, Ia. For twelve years he conducted a meat market at that city. Four years ago he came to Dubuque, where he had since resided.

He was a member of the Oxus Grotto, Masaic Lodge, A.F. and A.M. Modern Brotherhood of America, and the Harmony lodge I.O.O.F.

He is survived by his widow and two daughters, Mrs. Zella Ludeking of Chicago, and Miss Jessie Williams of Iona, S.D.

The remains have been taken to Haudenshild's chapel, 2170 Central avenue, where funeral services will be conducted at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon by the Reverend J.W. Reed, pastor of the Grandview avenue Methodist Episcopal church. Members of the Harmony Lodge will have charge of the services.

The body will be shipped on Wednesday morning to Waukon, Ia., where interment will be made in the Rossville cemetery.
