>From "The Higbee News" 10 Mar 1911--RETURNS AFTER OVER TWENTY YEARS--Perhaps the happiest people in Higbee this week were Mrs. Sarah Williams and her children, Miles, Thomas, Jenkins and Miss Lizzie, the occassion of their gladness being the return of husband and father, Thomas Williams, who left here almost 22 years ago for the West, and whom they had not seen since. Shortly after moving here in 1887, work being slack in the mines, Mr. Williams, left for the West, and has spent the time mostly in Idaho, Montana and Washington, the family keeping track of him through correspondence. Aside from his wife and children Mr. Williams' return to Higbee was almost like going to a town he had never heard of, for a vst majority of his old time friends and acquaintances have either died or moved away. He found even a greater change in the business houses, but three of those he was formerly familiar with remaining. But the changes have not all at this end of the long absence, for Mr. Williams, has changed in appearance to such an extent that none but his family knew him. He left a strong and vigorous man in the prime of life, and returns at the age of 66 stooped and gray, but a strong man yet. The NEWS rejoices with his family and friends at his return and hopes that he will spend the balance of his days among us. Kathy Bowlin
