   THOMAS R. WILLIAMS, an unpretentious, but honored citizen of Bloomfield, is a
native of Fulton County, Ohio, where he was born in 1826. He came with his
parents, Elisha and Hannah (Harrison) Williams, to Greene County, Ind., in 1855,
where afterward both parents died. Thomas R. was raised to manhood on the farm
of his father, his educational advantages being such as were accorded in the
country schools of that day. He served a two years' apprenticeship at the
carpenter's trade, and the greater part of his life has been passed in working
with lumber. In partnership with his eldest son, he erected his planing and saw
mill near the depot in 1881, and they are doing a good business in manufacturing
house-furnishing goods, and in dressing lumber. Besides machinery expressly for
planing work, they have a double circular saw driven by a twenty-horse-power
engine. Mr. Williams is a Republican, has served as Township Assessor six years,
and is a member of the Blue Lodge in Masonry. In 1853, he was married to Mary
Moyer, and eight children have blessed their union—Elisha M., Horace G., Sadie
A., Mary E., Frank M., Cora E., Thomas and Hoyt H.
