Death resulted from a complication of diseases from which Mr. Williams had suffered, for many weeks. Mr. Williams was 71 years old. He was born in Breckinshire in the south of Wales and remained in his native country until thirty-five years ago, when he carne to America and settled in Frostburg. He established a marble yard at Frostburg and followed that business for a number of years or until his son succeeded him and the deceased thereafter engaged in general contracting and building. The stone work of the best structures in Frostburg was executed by him. In 1871 he journeyed from Frostburg to Des Moines, Iowa, where he cut the stone for the capitol building of that state.

He was a charter member of Frostburg lodge No. 88, Knights of Pythias, and was also a member of the Order of Forresters. In all matters with which he was identified publicly or privately, Mr. Williams displayed a character that was above reproach, a degree of good judgment that became a man of high standing and a generous consideration for the rights and welfare of his neighbors commanded to him the respect of everybody and the friendly devotion of many.
