OBITUARY OF DAVID WILLIAMS

"There is a reaper whose name is death,
And with His sycle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain with a breath.
And the flowers that grow between."

Of a truth of these poetic words, we are again reminded in the death of David 
H. Williams who fell under the stroke of the sickle as bearded grain, ripe for 
the shock. He lived a long and useful life.

He was born in Monogeheia Co, Virginia, February 24, 1846 and left us to enter 
that abundant life spoken of by Christ in the Gospel of John, May 20, 1920, 
aged 74 years, 2 mo., and 26 days.

He was most happily married at Jackson, Ohio, June 25th, 1870 to Amelia A. 
Stover. Had Mr. Williams lived, this worthy couple would have celebrated their 
Golden Wedding in June. The union was blessed with four children still living: 
Mrs. Adia Bowmar of Cove, Arkansas; W. R. Williams; Mary E. McClure, and Sadie 
M. Krost all of Payette. Besides the children and wife there are one brother, 
two sisters and twelve grandchildren besides a host of friends who live after 
him. For these the hour is dark but they sorrow not as those who have no hope.

His Church work dated from early life. He was converted at the age of 17 and 
fellowshipped with the Methodist Church. Upon moving from Nebraska to Idaho he 
chose the Church of God at Payette and his life has been a blessing to the 
Church and a glory to God. As a believer he has awakened with the Savior's 
likeness. He confessed Christ before men and Jesus will confess him before the 
Father. Brother Williams was blind for a number of years in this life but now 
he can see. We lay the earthly tabernacles away but the spirit has gone to 
God "where the many mansions be."

Funeral services were conducted from the Church of God by Evangelist J. E. 
Barbour and his pastor, rev. A. E. Houser. Interment in Riverside Cemetery.
