Dr. "Badge" Williams Died Last Thursday
Thursday - February 28, 1929

Dr. William Anderson Williams, long a resident of the Beaver Dam section of 
Watuaga County, passed away February 21st, after a protracted illness covering 
a period of many months. He was 88 years of age.

Dr. Williams was a native of Wilkes County, but early in life moved his 
citizenship to the adjoining county of Watuaga. Almost forty years ago he 
professed faith and united with the Elk Park Baptist church of which he was a 
worthy member until the time of his death.

Dr. Williams was a practicing physician for more that half a century and was 
widely known as a result of extensive practice. A physician of the old school, 
it was necessary for him to journey on horseback to reach his patients, who 
received uniform service regardless of their station in life. He was actively 
engaged in the practice of his profession until old age. 

He was a Confederate soldier, faithful in the ranks and a honor to his colors, 
a good citizen and a friend to humanity.

Funeral services were conducted from the Cove Creek Baptist church by Dr. Will 
O. Gordon, following which the body was laid to rest in the Cove Creek 
cemetery.

Surviving are a widow and seven children: Thomas H. and Benjamin, of Detroit, 
Mich.; W.H., British Columbia; Zill and Robert of Dent, Va.; John of Seattle, 
Wash., and Mrs. W.H. Dyson, of Tennessee.

Note: Contributor's husband is William's great great grandson
