Woods officiating. Lawrence Firmston Williams was born August 26, 1890, son of Alfred Williams and Anne Doan in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England. He emigrated to Canada in 1908 coming to the Rockeling Bay district. On April 7, 1914, he was married to Elsie Trayer, and this union was blessed with five children. His early days were spent farming west of Donalda, but in 1947 he moved to Donalda, entering the office staff of the Co-op Creamery, of which he was one of the founders. He was active in community, church and youth movements. For a number of years he was Cubmaster of the Donalda Pack. He was choir master of the United Church choir for a number of years. He leaves to mourn: his loving wife, Elsie; two sons, Fred of Bashaw and Laurence of Donalda; two daughters, Violet (Mrs. J. W. Wardle) of Trochu and Joyce (Mrs. R. G. Langille) of Rosalind; 18 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren, and one brother, Reginald, of Wales. He was predeceased in March, 1964, by his daughter Bessie (Mrs. Leland Fisher). Also left to mourn his loss are a host of friends and relatives. He was a good neighbor, a true friend and an inspiration to those in trouble. His good deeds and memories will live on.
