  Notes	A 19 year-old William O. Williams was working in a blacksmith shop in the town of Dayton, Waupaca County, in the 1870 census (June). In the 1880 census (June 21st), William Williams is living in the village of High Forest in Olmsted County, MN. The household consists of William Williams, 30, Tilda, 35, Andrew, 3, Wilhelmina, 5 mos., brother Andrew, 27, and brother Edward, 20. Although William is shown as having been born in Wisconsin, and his parents in Norway, the rest of the household (Tilda, both Andrews, and Edward), except Wilhelmina, are shown as having been born in Norway and both parents in Norway. Wilhelmina is shown as born in Minnesota although both parents in Norway. In the 1885 state census, the family is still in High Forest. The household is William Williams, 34, his wife Tora, 38 and born in Norway, and their children (all born in Minnesota): Andrew O., 7, Wilhelmina, 5, Ida C., 3, and Mable B., 10 months. In the 1895 state census, William Williams is a blacksmith in Stewartville, Olmsted County. The clearly-challenged census-taker listed the family as William, 44, Hildia, 50, Andrew, 17, Alemeno, 15, Ada, 13, and Isabell, 11. William had lived in the state for 20 years, 6 months. In the 1900 census (June 5th), the family is still living in High Forest, which is now a township, in Olmsted County. The village they live in is Stewartville. The family consists of William O. (born Aug 1851), Tildie (born May 1845), Wilhelmina A. (born Jan 1880), Ida C. (born Oct 1881), and Mable B. (born July 1884). The daughters were all born in Minnesota. William and Tildie have been married 24 years. Tildie has borne 4 children, all still living. William is a blacksmith. Wilhelmina is a clerk in a dry goods store. Ida is a clerk in a grocery store. Mable is in school. The family appears to have left the state by 1905. William is living with Andrew in Fargo, North Dakota, in that city’s 1909 directory.
