GEORGE WILLIAMS

George Williams, colored, justice of the peace 8th ward of this parish has just died.  He was one
of the best of his race.  As a slave, and as a free man, in war and peace, he was true to his people
and true to those to whom he owed a duty.  He was an old servant to the Conrad family and
highly esteemed by them.  He served in Washington for such men as Henry Clay and those of his
time.  His family and friends feel proud of his record, and justly so.  For the past sixteen years he
has been Justice of the Peace of the eighth ward.
