William Wadsworth Williams
Howard County
Born on a farm in Green Lake County, Wisconsin, October 13, 1853. After finishing the common schools he was sent to the Minnesota State University from which he graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1880. Coming to Howard County he engaged in farming and milling, which he has followed with a few interruptions ever since. In 1881, he was elected county surveyor. He was elected in 1891 to the Twenty-fourth General Assembly and served his term so well that the people of the county return him again. He takes special interest in prohibition and taxation, and watches the bills on these subjects very closely. He was a staunch Republican.
