A Few Recent Finds for both the Williamson and Mattson Line.

From the Fortress of Solitude

Pleasant Grove

Hello All,

     Just a few recent finds to publish today.  These are also in my Ancestry.com tree.  

1.  This is the death certificate of Walter Ernest Williamson, a brother to our Great Grandfather William Jonathan Williamson.  So if there are Williamson's in Billings Montana, we may very well be related.

Walter Ernest Williamson was the undersheriff of Treasure County Montana.  He was a cowboy in his younger years riding the range for many of the larger brands of South Dakota and Montana.

2.  Item number two in today's discoveries is the World War II draft card for our grandfather Charles Williamson.  Notice how his signature resembles dad's.  

3.  Item three. a picture from the 1955 Spearfish High School Yearbook.  Luella was in the Glee Club.  "I didn't like the director, Mr. Theland. He had a beautiful wife but like to flirt with the senior girls. Not me, I was a junior".  

4.  Item 4  The baptismal record of our grandfather Walter Mattson (Luella's dad) into the Swedish Lutheran Church in Lead.  His parents were not members, so the baptism was sponsored by his Aunt Sand.  

5.  The death certificate of Samuel Pettit Williamson, another of our great great Uncles, brother to  our Great Grandfather William Jonathan Williamson.  That means we have Williamson cousins in 

Coeur d' Alene Idaho.
