this

>married to Elizabeth Gray in 1846. Seven children blessed this union,
three
>sons and four daughters James J. Williams, Sarah J., John H., Mary F.,
Marion
>W., Lovenia Ann, Margaret Eveline. His companion and two children, Mary
>Francis and Margaret Eveline preceded him to the spirit world. In 1861 he
>enlisted in the service of his country and continued faithfully to battle
>against the "Great Rebellion" till his discharge in 1864. In 1865 he
married
>Anna Curry, widow of the late John Curry, who was also a union soldier.
Six
>children were given to brother Williams by his last marriage; one of whom
died
>quite young. The other five, Thomas M., Charles L., Robert E., Belle, wife
of
>Jonas Spivey and Milas, still live to mourn the loss which no human power
can

which
>have no hope" for brother Williams professed saving faith in Christ and
united
>with the M.E. Church in Tennessee while quite young, and in 1886 he joined
the
>Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Karbers Ridge, and was ordained a ruling
>elder. When the church there disorganized, brother Williams attached
himself
>to the same denomination at Central, and lived a faithful member until the
>Lord called him from labor to reward. A short time before life death, he
told
>his companion that he did not fear to die, for his way was clean; and when
his
>daughter Belle, came to see him, not with standing his feeble condition he
>even shouted praises to GOD for sparing him to see to her once more in this
>life. A few minutes before he died he told Robert E. Williams, his son,
that
>he was going home and wanted him to go with him. The funeral was preached
by
>the writer at Central to a large and attentive audience and he was interred
in
>the adjoining cemetery on Friday, April 23, 1902. May Gods grace be with
the

of
