R. WILLIAMS and Mrs. Amy WILLIAMS which was taken at the Jno A. Young Studio in La Cygne or Pleasanton, Kansas. The photograph is dated Winter of 1887 with couple appearing to be in their 30's or 40's at the time the photograph was taken. In addition to their names and the date, someone has also written "J. S. KEENEY, Pullman, WA" along with instructions for an additional photograph of Mrs. WILLIAMS including a drawing of her dress. In addition to this photograph I also have a series of four additional photographs belonging to the KEENEY Family who I believe are connected through Mrs. WILLIAMS and her daughter Estella from a first marriage. Based on limited information I was able to locate the following information regarding the couple: William Riley WILLIAMS was b. 4 Jun 1835 in Franklin Co. IL to parents John Richardson WILLIAMS (b. 8 Apr 1808 in Nashville or Memphis, TN) and Sarah ADAMS (b. 1 Sept 1812 in KY). William was one of 12 children born to this couple including, Elizabeth A.; William Riley; Mariam; Thomas Marion; Zebedee Brandon; Sarah Jane; Augustus M.; John J.; Harriet Sophie; Samantha Leona; Elvira N.; and Mary A. "Polly" WILLIAMS. The children were born between 1830 and 1854 in Franklin County, IL and MO. William married Amy FAIRCHILD b. 25 Jan 1853 in Augusta, IL and died 10 Jan 1909 in Hatton, WA. Amy FAIRCHILD was the daughter of Roswell FAIRCHILD (b. 1 Jan 1811 in NY) and Maria DeWitt WINFIELD (b. 22 Mar 1818 in Ulster Co. NY). Amy's first marriage was to J. W. MORRISON in 1871 in Linn Co. KS and her second marriage to William Riley WILLIAMS on 13 Nov 1876 in Linn Co. KS.
