HIRAM D. WILLIAMS. The farmer located on section 24, Vassar Township, Tuscola
County, is he whose name appears above. He is a son of Isaac Williams, a native
of New York, who went to Canada when fourteen years of age, and there spent the

  Hiram D. Williams was born August 17, 1837, in Canada. He was reared in his
