WILLIAMS is one of the oldest and most extensive practitioners in Page County. Robert Williams, his father, was a native of Maryland, and is of Welsh origin. He was a very wealthy man, owning an extensive distillery and holding a number of slaves. He married Margaret McAlister and to them were born nine children: Mary A., Harriet, Eliza, Louisa, John B., William H., James G., Joseph H. and Margaret. Mr. Williams removed to Pickaway County, Ohio, about the year 1823, and resided there until 1839, when he emigrated to Illinois; there he spent the remainder of his days in Fulton County, dying at the age of seventy-four years. He was a zealous member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was class-leader for many years. Dr. James G. Williams was born in Pickaway County, Ohio, in 1830, and received a common-school education. He was entirely dependent upon his own resources, as his father had met with reverses in business, and had lost his property. In his early youth a taste for medicine was developed, and he began his study under Dr. W. H. Efnor, formerly of New York, but then located at Richmond, Keokuk County, Iowa. Dr. Williams had come to Iowa in 1849 at the acre of nineteen years, and after completing his medical studies he began the practice of his chosen profession at Richland in 1859; there he remained until 1865, when he removed to Kirkville, Wapello County, Iowa, where he had a large and very successful practice; at that time an epidemic, spotted fever, was raging, which he met with good success; his fees for two months were $1,500. In 1870 he came to Page County and located in Braddyville, after spending a few months in Clarinda. He enjoys the reputation of being a very skillful and careful physician, which his large and increasing practice fully justifies, and as a man and a citizen he is above reproach. The Doctor was united in marriage in Jefferson County, Iowa, in 1850, to Elizabeth J. Hardin, a daughter of Rev. Henry and Catherine (Ludwick) Hardin. Of this union seven children have been born, four of whom are now living: Mary A., Catherine D., Henry J., and Harvey B. Dr. Williams has given his children a good education at Amity College, and has trained them to habits of thrift and industry. He is in comfortable circumstances, owning 102 acres of land near Braddyville, which is excellently improved; there are substantial buildings, one of the finest orchards in the county, containing 700 trees of best varieties, and a vineyard in full bearing condition. Our worthy subject is still in the prime of life and possesses the confidence of the public to a highly satisfactory degree. His first wife died in 1869, and in 1870 he was married to Francis M. Comstock, daughter of Dr. A. B. Comstock, one of the oldest physicians in Iowa and one of the wealthiest farmers in Wapello County, owning 600 acres of land. Mrs. Williams's mother was Sarah A. Sullivan, one of the first white children born in Iowa. Dr. A. B. Comstock once represented Wapello County in the Legislature some years ago, and is one of the best posted men in political matters in the State of Iowa. {Biographical History of Page County, Iowa, Lewis & Dunbar Publishers, 113 Adams Street, Chicago, Illinois, 1890}
