  	Edwin John Williams Passes The Grim Reaper visited Nora on last Saturday and claimed another one of our old timers and highly respected Citizens -- "Ted" Williams, as he was known to most of us. Mr. Williams was one of the early settlers of this county and always took an active part in the affairs of his community. He was an enthusiastic supporter of our county fair for many years, and he could always be depended upon to do his part when duty called. Edwin John Williams was born in England May 11, 1846, and departed his life at Nora, Nebraska, December 27, 1924, aged 78 years, 7 months and 15 days. When a lad he came with his parents from England to America. He grew to manhood in Wisconsin. Here he was united in marriage to Agnes Amelia Cherry November 24, 1870. To this union were added seven children, three girls and four boys: Minnie, William and Edwin Williams of Davenport, Nebr.; Clara Johnson of Nelson; Mary Lester of Beaver City; Clyde and Elmer of Nora. His wife died July 10, 1913. He was again united in marriage to the sister of his first wife, Mrs. Sarah Burrus, October 9, 1915. He spent the remainder of his life at his home near and at Nora. He has been a faithful member for forty years of the Methodist church until his death. He is survived by his wife, two brothers, John William (sic) of Nelson; Tom Williams of Beaver City, who was unable to be present; fourteen grand children, and one great grand child. The funeral was conducted from the Methodist church at Nora, Monday afternoon at two o'clock. His former pastor D.L. Davis of Cowles, assisted by the resident pastor, A.L. Kellogg, had charge of the service.
