  FRANK E. WILLIAMS is a farmer of Elk township who has lived in Nobles county

twenty-two years, having come here when a boy twelve years of age. He was born

in Grundy county, Iowa, Jan. 20, 1874, the third child of the late J. B.

Williams and Julia A. (Taft) Williams, who resides in Lorain township.



  The subject of this sketch lived in Grundy county, Iowa, until nine years of

age, when he moved with his parents to Blackhawk county, of the same state.

Three years the family lived there, and then, in 1886, they came to Nobles

county. Until 1894 Frank lived on the farm in Lorain; then he began farming for

himself, an occupation he has since followed. He now owns the southeast quarter

of section 36, Elk, but in addition to farming this he rents 240 acres.



  Mr. Williams was married Sept. 7, 1899, to Mary A. Hilary, of Elk township. To

them has been born one child, Emmet. Both Mr. and Mrs. Williams are members of

the Dunkard church of Elk township. Mr. Williams has held the office of road

overseer for the past two years.
