There is a death notice for a John Williams in Charlotte's newspaper transcriptions. His death was reported as April 2, 1872. Could that be the same John Williams? I see in the 1876 Historical Atlas, Amanda Williams owned property in S 23, T39 R4E . Anyone know who the parents are of this John Williams? ================ Jefferson Democrat FRIDAY, 5 APRIL 1872 OBITUARY - DIED - At his residence in Hillsboro, Tuesday, April 2nd, 1872, of small pox, John WILLIAMS, Collector of Jefferson County, Mo. This is certainly the saddest incident we have ever been called upon to record, more especially on account of the melancholly circumstances. On account of the fearful character of the disease his friends in Hillsboro, were detained from visiting him, and assisting in soothing him in his last painful hours on earth, and comforting his bereaved ones who have suffered a loss that the world cannot replace. Those who would otherwise have been with him, occupy public positions where they would have been guilty at least of great neglect of their duties to the public had they not strictly guarded against assisting in any way to spread the disease. He did not suffer however for want of attention. Besides his wife who labored only as a wife can, -- and a hired nurse Dr. PIPKIN was with him all the time, and Dr. BREWSTER a good part of the time. He caught the small pox from a man who after burying three of his family who died with the disease, came to Mr. WILLIAMS' office -- stood around there an hour or two and paid him some money. If there is not, there should be, a heavy penalty against any who will carelessly assist in the spread of this disease. ========================= Jefferson Democrat Hillsboro, Jefferson, Missouri FRIDAY, 10 MAY 1872 The Will of John WILLIAMS, dec'd, was proved up, and Mrs. Amanda WILLIAMS, the widow, appointed administratrix, with the Will annexed, and a bond required of her of $25.000.

This is the correct death notice for John. I believe he was the son of James L. Williams and Jane Mitchell. John first married Mary Angeline Donnell, and she is the mother of the two girls listed. They also had a son James Williams, born October 11, 1866 that died March 20, 1867. Mary Angeline died February 25, 1868, and John then married Amanda Bainbridge. >>>>-----Original Message----- >>>>From: Barb Lynn [mailto:[email protected]] >>>>Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 10:17 PM >>>>To: [email protected] >>>>Subject: Re: [MOJEFFER] New Cemetery - Williams,John Gravesite >>>> >>>> >>>>There is a death notice for a John Williams in Charlotte's >>>>newspaper >>>>transcriptions.
