  	Died:– John Williams, at the residence of his son, T.J, Williams, south of town on Friday evening last. John Williams was born in Monmouthshire South Wales Nov. 16, 1813. Was married to Miss Mary Davis(sic) in 1841, came to this country in 1853 and settled in Pennsylvania. Two years later he moved to Wisconsin, where he remained for awhile, and then removed with his family, near Nelson about eleven years ago. They had six children born to them, three boys and three girls, all of whom are living, and who today mourn the loss of a dear father. He was stricken with paralysis about ten years ago and has been unable to walk since to the time of his death. Patience had been making him as one of her model subjects during all of these years. Mr. Williams had been a christian all his life, and tried always to live an exemplary life and when death came to relieve him of his sufferings, found him ready and waiting to be called hence. If it is true that the "greater the suffering the more blessed the rest,", what must it be for Grandpa Williams to be there?
  Burial	Nelson, Nuckolls Co., Nebraska, USA   [1]
  		Headstone of John Williams
  Notes	John and Mary Williams must have emigrated to America from England sometime between 1852 (the birth of their son John in England) and 1854 (the birth of Thomas in Illinois).
