    1. Williams' Shooting in IN or IL, 1920-1930

    3. I am searching for information on Frederick Williams, b. 1880, in Roodhouse, Greene, IL. He married Minnie Downey in 1900 in Danville, Vermilion, IL. He is found living in Pike County, Washington, Township on the 1920 Census with his wife and the following children: Sarah Minetta, b. 1902, Alton, Madison, IL Edwin Williams, b. 1906, unknown Lester Milton Williams, b. 1910, IL Edith Florence Williams, b. 1915, IL Frederick Clifford, b. 1917, Knox County, IN Robert Williams Vera Williams John Eugene Williams The family lore has it that Frederick was shot to death, although I can find no documentation in either state for the shooting or the death. I had to have happened between 1920 and 1930. In the 1930 census, all of the children except two were found back in Madison County, IL, living with older siblings or other relatives. Has anyone on this Williams list run across this or a similar incident? I’d be grateful for any information or guidance in searching. Please post or e-mail me at [email protected]
