CHCS receives $106,300 donation from Bob Williamson estate

Community HealthCare System recently received a donation of just over $106,300 from the estate of Robert “Bob” L. Williamson. Williamson, who was living in Holton and was formerly from Netawaka, passed away June 30 at the age of 94. Williamson’s daughters, Nanette Williamson and Patty Sorensen, delivered the donation. Williamson was a General Superintendent for Eldridge Construction in Kansas City as well as a farmer and stockman. His daughters said he was a hard worker. “He worked night and day. He would go to Kansas City and work, then come home and milk cows and farm. He was very successful, and he was a good financial manager,” Nanette Williamson said. When not engaged in growing crops or milking cows, Bob enjoyed woodworking and fishing. Bob was a talented furniture builder; among other pieces, he made a beautiful table with wood hinges that he engineered himself. Bob enjoyed 56 years of marriage to his wife, Carol Joy Clark, who preceded him
