WILLIAMS Alfred V. Williams, whose death was announced in the Independent last week, was born in Rockport, Missouri, January 3, 1853, and died at Portland, Oregon, on March 11, 1930, after an illness from heart trouble which extended back for about two years. At the age of 14 years he began as an apprentice at the carpenter trade which he made his life work, and in which his skill was manifest in every contract he took. At the age of 21 he was united in marriage to Margaret E. McDonald, at Linden, Mo. They made their home in Rockport for 12 years and then removed to Auburn, Nebraska. In 1906 they moved to Payette and for 24 years were among our highest respected citizens. Mr. Williams always took a keen interest in the growth and development of our city and community and was honored and respected by all. Mr. Williams is survived by his widow and six children, H. L. Williams, of San Fernando, Calif, W. J. Williams, of Boulder, Colo., Mrs. E. C. Payne, of Portland, Ore., Mrs. O. E. Bussey, of Portland, Ore., Mrs. C. D. Wood, of Medford, Ore., and Mrs. G. T. Currie, of Payette. Funeral services were held Saturday, March 15, at 1 o'clock p.m. at Friendship Lodge, No 160 A. F. & A. M., of Portland, under instructions from his home lodge in Payette, and he was laid to rest by the side of his son, Joy, at Portland, who preceded him in death by a year. In the taking of Mr. Williams Payette has lost an excellent citizen and one who will be greatly missed.
