Mr. Williams was born, and reared, in the area of Pearson, GA. He married Matilda Vickers in 1889. They had nine children.
At the time of his death from Influenza, he was the director of Citizen's Bank in Coffee County, and one of the Jury Commissioners of Coffee. Mr Williams was a successful farmer and business man. He had a large estate, including thousands of acres of land, a pecan orchard, and had one of the most beautiful homes in the county. His house had one of the first telephone lines and was wired with electricity, comforts normally found only in the cities. Mr. Williams was a very industrious man; he was honest and upright in all his dealings with his fellow men. As a citizen, he was public spirited and patriotic. When the world war was thrust upon us, he bought Stamps and Liberty Bonds. And more than that, he had three sons who entered the service, and followed the flag of their country. Mr William was a model citizen, but he was at his best in his home. He had a large family and they enjoyed life together. He was kind to his neighbors, and to the needy. No one ever left his door empty handed. He left behind a living monument of industrious, and moral, sons and daughters - stronger than a monument made of stone and marble.
