Based on the date of birth and his age at death it is early 1897. Gallatin County lost one of its most distinguished and venerably citizens Tuesday in the death of Hon. Myrix J. Williams, which sad event occurred at his home near Glencoe, at about 11 o'clock that day, after an illness of about a week. He had been in failing health for some time his advanced years being the chief cause, the human machinery after nearly eight six year of active service, giving way before the ravages of time. Thu passes away from the scene of worldy action one of the best men that had ever lived in this good county, a man whose useful life has been a blessing to mankind and he goes to the well earned peaceful rest with the benedictions of "Well done thou good and faithful servant," from every circle. M.J. Williams was born near Richmond, Madison County, Ky., July 14th, 1811, and was the son of John and Elizabeth Williams natives of Virginia. Mr. Williams came to Gallatin County with his father when about 19 years old, and settled at Napoleon where he was married to Miss Junietta Gouge, daughter of James Gouge, of Grant County., whose union was blessed with four children, three of whom survive, viz: Mrs. Huey of Boone County, Mrs. Castleman and Mrs. Crouch of Gallatin County. His wife dying he was united in marriage to Miss Martha J. Turley, daughter of William Turley of Napoleon, to whom seven children were born, the only survivor being our beloved friend, Rev. J. Frank Williams, pastor of the Baptist church at Harrodsburg, Ky. Death took away his loved companion and left him desolate and lonely, and after years of solitude, he again married, this time to Miss Minerva Donaldson, a daughter of Andrew Donaldson, of Carrollton, Ky., who with their one daughter, Mrs. J.E. Wolford, of Louisville, Ky, survive the beloved husband and father. He was like a grand old patriarch, his wisdom and counsel being sought by his numerous connections. Besides his children he has 16 grand-children, 30 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grand-children, all of whom have promise of being useful and valuable citizens. The deceased also leaves one sister, Mrs. Mary Darnall, of Denver, Colorado, who is now in her 84th year. Mr. Williams moved to Glencoe in 1857, from Napoleon, where large circle of friends. The latch string of his hospitable home was always on the outside to his numerous visitors and a most cordial welcome was extended to all. He will be long remembered for his many good qualities of heart and mind and a silent tear will be dropped by the many who enjoyed his sterling friendship. His funeral took place from his late home Thursday afternoon, and was attended by a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends. Rev. George W. Hill, of the Williamstown Baptist Church, conducted the funeral services, and the remains were in charge of the Masonic order. The floral decorations were very pretty and appropriate, a number being tributes from absent friends. After the choir had sung "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," Rev. Hill read a text from mica, 2nd chapter, 10th verse, followed by prayer; then the choir renderd "Rock of Ages," and Rev. Hill preached a feelin g and appropriate discourse, from the Hebrews, 4th chapter, 9th verse. The Glencoe Masonic Lodge then took the charge of the remains and rendered their beautiful ritual service, completing it at the grave in the family cemetery wher ethe body of their beloved friend and brother was tenderly laid to rest. The active pall bearers were his six grandsons, D.E. Castleman of Burlington: Thomas Castleman of Florence, Ky; M.J. Castleman, Rev. Oscar Huey, of Carrollton, James Huey of Boone County, and George Crouch. The honorary pall bearers were Robert R. Russell, James L. Grubbs, Robert Carlton, J.A. McPherson, John Skirvin and Robert E. Foster. All of the neighboring Masonic lodges were represented. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 18:34:30 -0500 From: "Randy Wynn" Subject: KFY: Darnall School, 1927-28, Marshall Co Picture published Tribune-Courier, Benton, KY Wednesday, April 1, 1998 Page 5C Darnall School 1927-28 Names listed: Charles Loften; William Thomas Lamb; Alex Long; Mary Frances York McKeel; Ruby Lee York O' Grady; Hattie Lamb Lucas; Elvie Harrell; James Loften; Dalton Dale Thweatt; Lewis Canup; Velma Youngblood Parker; Charles Harrison; Thelma Seaford Green; Nicolus Darnall; Jenuita Hurt; Loyd Smith; Holland Rose, teacher; Charldean Youngblood Gore; Dallas Youngblood; Clementine Darnall Smith; Grover Seaford; Kitty Darnall Mathis; Victor Seaford; Delta Harrell Grubs; Clovis Hurt; Mildred Darnall Jackson; Gladys York Rose; Vergie Seaford Treas; Olene Lamb Portis; Etta Harrell; Kara Harrell; Evaline Lamb Mason; Helen York Parker; Adeline Darnall Lineberry; Nell Copeland Houser; Velma Canup Ross; and Garvin Darnall. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Apr 1998 21:27:06 -0500 From: "Sue Pearson Carpenter" Subject: KFY: BIBLE: Pearson; Simpson Co File is the Andrew Jackson Pearson Bible Records.
