Biographical Sketch of T. Eugene Williams, Johnson County, Missouri
Hazel Hill Township
>From "The History of Johnson County, Missouri," 
Kansas City Historical Co. 1881

T. EUGENE WILLIAMS,

is among the promising young teachers of Hazel Will township.  He was
born here, June 21, 1858.  His parents died when he was quite young.  He
is the youngest among six children, three brothers and three sisters:
E.A., E.D. and T.E. were the brothers; Parrilee, Viana and Mollie, the
sisters; all of whom are married, except the subject of this sketch.
His father, Thomas, was a native of Kentucky, and emigrated to this
state at an early day, and was among the pioneer teachers of Missouri.
He also engaged in farming and stock-raising, and as a citizen stood
high in his community.  T. Eugene, from boyhood, was pious and studious,
and made rapid progress in the country public schools, where he received
the rudiments of an English education.  At the early age of fourteen
years, he embraced religion, and became a member of the Mt. Moriah C.P.
church, where he is loved and respected by his pastor, and all the
communicants.  In 1877, at the age of fifteen years, he entered the
State Normal School at Warrensburg, and graduated with honors in his
class, June, 1880.  The following autumn he was engaged to teach the
rural school of his own neighborhood. This summer he was elected
principal of the Aullville public school.  He opened his school here,
September 5, 1881, and is at present successfully conducting one of the
best schools ever taught in that town. No doubt, the subject of this
sketch, being comparatively a young man, has a bright future before him.
