(The family believes that except for the one who returned, he never saw his Arkansas children again.) "Mr. Williams had been squirrel hunting, came in at noon, ate dinner, and then went out on his porch and was reading the newspaper when death came.He was born in this county on December 27, 1827, and was therefore over 84 years old.He was a man of remarkable physical strength and endurance, and although he was over the traditional four score years, he cultivated a crop this year and cut his own grain at harvest time. "His equal in strength and endurance does not live in this section.He was one of the finest marksmen that ever handled a gun, and in the days when game was plentiful in this country, his trusty rifle brought down many a deer and wild turkey. "During the Civil War, Mr. Williams was a member of Company D, 37th Regiment, NC troops.The long marches in which other men dropped by the wayside in utter exhaustion barely tired him.His splendid marksmanship and his steady nerve under fire made him a perfect soldier.He was desperately wounded at Gettysburg and carried to his grave a minnie ball received in that battle. He was buried, as he often said he wished to be, dressed in a suit of Confederate gray.
