NATHANIEL ELDRIDGE WILLIAMS

DEATH OF N.E. WILLIAMS

Mr. Nathan Eldridge Williams died at his home here Sunday morning, April 7, 
1918, after only a few days illness of pneumonia.  He was seventy years of age.

Mr. Williams was a native of North Carolina but had spent most of his life in 
this community where he was honored and respected by all who knew him.  In a 
quiet, unassuming manner he discharged the duties resting upon him and was 
faithful to each trust.  He was a kind and loving husband and father, and a 
consistent Christian, holding his membership with the Boykins M.E. Church 
where he will be greatly missed.  He is survived by his widow, who was Miss 
Sarah Ricks, four sons - L.P., B.N. R.L. and A.M. Williams; two daughters - 
Mrs. R.E. Ferguson and Mrs. J.E. Griffin; and eleven grandchildren, all of 
Southampton County.

Interment was made in Beechwood cemetery Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock the 
services being conducted by Rev. Porter Hardy.  The pallbearers were W.W. 
White, S.B. Drewry, J.D. Hart, W.A. Powell, J.D. Ferguson, W.G. Neblett, B.G. 
Ferguson and H.F. Knight.
