| Additional Information: | A small cemetery begun in 1918 is located at the base of the bluff on the east side of the installation, near the current main entry gate. The cemetery contains four graves with headstones. Roberts Wells Williams (1900-1918) is the earliest grave. Robert Williams was the son of the Wisconsin National Guard Quartermaster Charles Robert Williams. Robert Williams died as a result of illness while being deployed to France during World War I. Charles Robert Williams (1870-1926) Lt. Col. QMC was the Wisconsin National Guard Quartermaster, who served at Camp Williams. The last two graves are Hugh M. Simonson (1917-1987) Brigadier General U.S. Army and Jack C. King (1920-1974) Colonel USAF and USPFO for Wisconsin National Guard. The cemetery is surrounded by a white picket fence. |
