Williams, former school teacher, policeman and mail carrier, died Sunday evening at his home on Lancaster avenue. Death was due to a general break-down in health. He was 52 years of age. Funeral services were conducted in the Baptist church yesterday afternoon, Dr. H. E. Gurney, pastor of the Presbyterian church, officiating. Deceased is survived by his wife, who was Miss Mary Alice Clontz before her marriage; three sons, Messrs. Horace, Fred and Bruce Williams; and four daughters, Mrs. John D. Gold of Tampa, Fla., and Misses Ruby, Grace and Thelma Williams. Deceased was also a brother of Mr. Frank Williams of Arkansas, Mrs. B. H. Stegall of New London, Ark., and Miss Mary Williams of this county. Up until last October, when he contracted typhoid fever, Mr. Williams was one of the best specimens of manhood in this section. He was a physical giant. A few years ago, when he lived at Wingate, he walked to Monroe in the morning, carried the mail over his route before noon, again in the afternoon, and then walked back to Wingate and worked several hours on his farm before retiring. He could also perform other feats requiring equal if not more strength and endurance. He never fully recovered from the fever. For a while, it is true, he resumed his work but his strength soon gave way, forcing him to return to his bed. He gradually grew weaker until the end came. For a number of years, Mr. Williams taught in the public schools, earning quite a reputation for his proficiency in mathematics. He was also on the Monroe police force for some time. Honest, a man of principle, lawobiding and friendly, he formed many warm friendships, and the large number who paid their final tribute at his funeral yesterday attested to the esteem in which he was held in this community.
