LAS VEGAS AGE - 9/22/1923

FATHER OF OUR TOWNSMAN DIES IN LOS ANGELES

N. E. Williams was called to Long Beach last Saturday evening by the very 
serious illness of his father, George A. Williams.  The aged gentleman was 
alive when his son reached his bedside, but too ill to recognize anyone.  He 
passed away Monday surrounded by his four daughters and two of his sons.  
His third son who lives in the middle west did not arrive until after his father 
had passed away.

George A. Williams was born in Kentucky in 1842.  He married there and four 
sons and four daughters came to bless his home.  The wife and mother died about 
twenty-three years ago when the family home was broken up and the father and 
the children, with the exception of the one son came to Long Beach to reside.  
Although he had long since passed his three score years and ten he was wonderfully 
active and alert.  Every day he took his accustomed long walk and visited with his 
friends and companions.  God in his infinite wisdom spared him a long and painful 
illness and in the midst of apparently good health he was summoned to his long dome.
