Obituary: 7-12-1912 GRIM REAPER TAKES PIONEEROnce again, the Grim Reaper has laid a heavy toll upon our devoted people, and once againhis harvest of the dead has been fruitful and freighted with the soul of one of St.Francis'oldest and best citizens, in the person of Hon.W.E.Williams, ex-sheriff, prominentpolitician and successful farmer and business man, who passed to the arms of Him whogave, on Thursday evening, July 11,1912, of apoplexy. "Bill Williams is dead!"Mr.Williams had been known to be in failing health for some months, but had not beenconfined to his bed. He was up in town until 10 am, when he went home complaining of aneuralgic-like pain in his head.

When the family took himsupper, they found him dead.Mr.Williams was a native of Maury county, Tenn.. having been born there May 16,1850,and was thus entering his sixty third year. His family moved to the county in 1855, hismother having died some three years earlier. At the age of twelve, his father died and hewas thus left an orphan.
