In memory of our uncle and dear brother in Christ our Lord, we hope. George Washington Williams was born Jan. 13, 1875, and departed this life Mar. 28, 1956, making his stay on earth over 81 years. He was married to Miss Price Stone on Feb. 20, 1898, who preceded him in death a little more than a year. To this union were born 10 children. One died in infancy, the others are left to mourn their loss. They are: Mrs. Estelle Mason and Mrs. Lorene Isbell, Huntsville, Ala.; Mrs. Annie Lou Brewer, Birmingham, Ala.; Mrs. Gladys Watson, Mrs. Lavonia Lee, Alvie and Maloy Williams, all of Huntland, Tenn.; Kenneth Williams, Dallas, Tex.; and Ralph Williams, Mobile, Ala. Brother Williams united with the Primitive Baptists in June 1904 and was baptized by Elder M. J. Towery. His membership was at Old Mt. Fork Church, Madison Co., Ala., where he served as clerk of the church from 1904 to 1950. Elder R. L. Biggs of Nashville, Tenn., was wonderfully blessed to speak comforting words at the funeral to the bereaved children, brethren, and friends. Uncle Wash, as he was called by all who knew him, was a strong believer in salvation by grace and grace alone. He believed in an all wise and powerful God, One Who speaks and it is done, commands and it stands fast; One Who says, I am God and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. Uncle Wash will be missed by the church, his children, and friends, but let us say that our loss is his gain. “The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away: Blessed be the name of the Lord.” Written by request of Mt. Fork Church – one copy to be sent to the “Signs of the Times,” and one to the family. – R. O.
