Hello Fellow Williams researchers, Can anyone help me to identify the parents of this man? Or who any of his seven daughters were? From "The Higbee News" dated 15 July 1910--COL. R. P. WILLIAMS DEAD--Col. R. P. Williams, state treasurer from 1900 to 1905, during the administration of Gov. A. M. Dockery, died at his home in Fayette Monday after an illness of two months. Mr. Williams was born in Howard county, September 8, 1841. He was educated at Central College and the University of Missouri. He farmed until 1866, and then for four years was a merchant. In 1871 he became the head of the Payne-Williams Bank, now the Fayette Bank. In 1894 he was appointed receiver of the American National Bank of Springfield, Mo. In 1900 he was nominated on the democratic ticket and elected Treasurer of Missouri. Seven daughters survive him. His wife died several years ago. Interment was made at Fayette Tuesday. Kathy Bowlin
