J. F. WILLIAMS.

Dr. J. F. Williams, who enjoys a large veterinary practice in Highland township,
well merits the confidence placed in him, for his reputation is built upon a
thorough professional education and a large practical experience. He has today a
profitable clientele and is considered one of the most successful men in his
line of work in Wapello county. He was born in Carroll county, Missouri, March
14, 1876, and is a son of Conrad and Elizabeth (Decker) Williams, the father a
native of Tennessee and the mother of Indiana. Both were brought to Iowa when
children. Conrad Williams died in June, 1906, his widow now making her home in
New Mexico. In their family were nine children, of whom seven are living.

J. F. Williams remained at home until he reached his maturity. Having completed
his schooling, he learned the blacksmith's trade, continuing in that line for a
few years, but, not finding the desired satisfaction in this work, his thoughts
turned to more profitable fields of employment. Deciding upon veterinary work,
he attended the Kansas City Veterinary College, from which he graduated in 1911.
Since that year he has been practicing in Highland Center with unabating success.

On the 21st of April, 1912, Dr. Williams married Miss Grace Miller, a native of
Wapello county and a daughter of J. C. and Delpha (Lowenberg) Miller, both
living and of whom extended mention is made in another part of this work. Dr.
and Mrs. Williams have two children: Warren K. and Doris Marie. The parents are
members of the Christian church and devoted to its work. Before her marriage
Mrs. Williams taught school for nine years, having received an excellent
education, which was concluded with graduation from the Ottumwa high school. Dr.
Williams owns a handsome residence in Highland Center, which is the family home.
He is not only efficient professionally, but is a useful citizen who is ever
ready to contribute to the general welfare. Politically he has not been
particularly active, preferring to concentrate all his energies upon his work.
He is a member of the Farmers' Grange.
