Police said they had not established whether or not the woman was slain in Cook County, where she resided with her husband, STEPHEN, a bricklayer and their children in suburban Cicero, or in nearby Du Page County where the body was found. The Chicago Sun Times said two of its editorial employees found the woman's blood-smeared wrist watch in a prairie in Stickney Township in Cook County, several miles from where the body was found and theorized she was killed and mutilated at this spot. Reidy said Wasil told him his wife "took off from home" several times in the last year and always took her youngest son with her. The Wasil's have two other children, (child not named) age 13 and Catherine, age seven. Reidy said Wasil told him Mrs. Wasil became acquainted with Bearden when the roofer repaired their home more than two years ago. Wasil said Bearden once lived in Holly Springs, GA.

JAMES WILCHER, Mrs. Tuesday, November 13, 1906 Richmond, Virginia, November 12 - Only 16 years of age and a wife of 2 years, had her throat cut from ear to ear Monday night, November 12, 1906 by her husband, whom she had left because of his cruel treatment of her and who committed the deed after a futile effort at reconciliation. The woman was discovered at the home of her husband by her mother, Mrs. S.J. WOODY, with whom she had been living since abandoning her husband's home. She was weltering in a pool of blood on the floor of a bedroom. Life was not yet extinct. She was taken to the city , Almshouse, where medical attention was administered. It was said late Monday night that there is a bare possibility that she will live. This is the second attempt the husband had made to take the life of his young wife. She had gone to the home of her husband to procure some of her own clothing which had been left there after the hurry of her departure when she had made up her mind that she could no longer live with her husband. She had entered the house and was packing her belongings when he unexpectedly returned. He prevailed upon the young woman to allow him an interview. It is believed, for the purpose of affecting a reconciliation. For the purpose of talking more at leisure the man prevailed upon his wife to accompany him into the room which they had formerly occupied as a bedroom. He locked the door behind him. The insistence of the young woman, it is believed, in remaining away from him, angered the man. At any rate, he plunged a knife into her throat of the girl, leaving her for dead upon the floor. He then passed into an adjoing room, where his kissed his own mother good bye, telling her that his wife had refused to return to him and that he intended taking his own life. He did not tell her of what had occurred in the other room. He then passed out of the house, since which time, his disappearance has been complete. Her mother, becoming uneasy at the prolonged absence of her daughter and knowing upon what mission she had gone, went to look for her. Arriving at the home of her son in law, she inquired of his mother for her daughter and was told that she was in the bedroom where she had conversed with her husband. She repaired to the room, where here eyes fell upon the form of her daughter on the floor, apparently dead with a jagged gash across her throat.

WILLIAMS (P) Tuesday, January 8, 1907 A weird tale of the Dismal Swamp, chronicles the death of two men and a boy, literally swallowed up by the murky and sluggish waters of the canal, supposedly about midnight Saturday, January 5, 1907. C.C. WILLIAMS, PERCY ARNOLD and his brother, DAISY ARNOLD, were the victims. Persistent efforts made all day Sunday, January 6, 1907 and well into Sunday night and again resumed Monday, January 7, 1907 to recover their bodies, have been futile. The waters refuse to give up their dead. Just how the triple drowning occurred will, perhaps, never be known. No eye-witness to the dreadful affair can be found, which seems to indicate that WILLIAMS and the two ARNOLD boys met death in the darkness with their cries for assistance unheeded. Sunday morning, January 6, 1907, T.B. JOHNSON of Gilmerton, discovered a rowboat overturned near the canal, just a short pace up the bank, south of the village. This was the first indication of the drowning. The boat had turned turtle. Floating up the stream on its sluggish surface, JOHNSON found a broad brim felt hat. When the overturned boat was righted, beneath it was a derby. The felt hat was recognized as that of C.C. WILLIAMS, who went through Gilmerton on Saturday afternoon, January 5, 1907 accompanied by the ARNOLD boys. The derby belonged to PERCY ARNOLD. The identification was quickly established. A little further up stream, toward the Deep Creek locks, high and dry on the shore, lay a shoe box. Wrapped up in this was a new pair of men's shoes. WILLIAMS and the ARNOLD boys lived together at Millville. Leaving that place, they walked about a half mile through a fringe of woods, came to a small landing on the bank of the Dismal Swamp Canal, where they stepped into the row boat to push on to Gilmerton. The trip to the village was made in safety. When they reached their destination, they moored the boat and took the trolley car for Portsmouth. This was early on Saturday afternoon, January 5, 1907. The car brought them to the city over the Gilmerton Division of the Norfolk and Portsmouth Traction Company's local system. It was getting along toward the 11th hour when they made the return trip to Gilmerton. They left the car at the end of the line and crossed the bridge at the terminus, which leads to the village. As they walked through the darkened paths, skirting the Norfolk and Western Railway Tracks, they were seen by a few belated villagers, but none saw them embark in the row boat for the return pull to the little private landing, from which they embarked for town earlier in the day. Shortly before midnight, W.O. FERRELL, night watchman at the Norfolk and Western Railway draw bridge, over the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River, at Gilmerton, heard cries. There was but one or two calls for assistance, he says and he couldn't locate the direction from whence they came. It was after he had opened the draw to permit the passage of a southbound tow boat. The tug went on southward in the darkness. After she had gone out of sight, toward the Deep Creek locks of the Dismal Swamp Canal, FERRELL heard the cries. Gilmerton villagers express belief that this tow boat, when it went steaming up the canal, sent a strong swell washing toward each bank. They think this swell turned over the boat and dumped WILLIAMS and his companions into the waters of the canal. The opinion is that the cries which FERRELL heard were from WILLIAMS and the ARNOLD boys, when their boat was turned turtle by the waves from the passing tug. All day Sunday, January 6, 1907, WILLIAM's friends and residents of Gilmerton, who joined in the search, dragged the waters of the canal. The bodies were not recovered. The tide rises and falls in the canal at Gilmerton and the bodies may have been carried on the ebb down the Southern Branch and into the harbor and maybe out to sea. WILLIAMS, who was a man of family, worked in the lumber mill at Millville as an oiler. He was steady and industrious. He leaves a widow and 1 little boy. The former was in Gilmerton all day Monday, January 7, 1907, disconsolate over her loss. The ARNOLD boys both worked at the Millville lumber plant which gave WILLIAM's employment. PERCY ARNOLD, the elder, was 22 years of age and his brother, DAISY, was 16 years old. Tuesday morning, January 8, 1907, at low water, another effort will be made to recover the bodies from the Dismal Swamp Canal. It was agreed Monday, January 7, 1907 shortly afternoon, that efforts to secure them at high water would be practically useless, so the parties engaged in dragging the artificial waterway quit their work until Tuesday morning, January 8, 1907 at low ebb. They will take up the drag nets again. There are some doubts expressed, however, as to the probability of recovering the bodies in the vicinity of Gilmerton at least. The ebbing tide may have carried them well down stream Sunday, January 6, 1907 and Monday, January 7, 1907 ebb may have taken them still further from the fatal spot where the boat turned turtle and dumped the trio into the canal. ELIZABETH E. WILLIAMS Friday, December 14, 1906 / Saturday, December 15, 1906 Died at the residence of her son in law, Mr. JAMES E. WHITE, corner 29th and Church Streets, Thursday, December 13, 1906 at 8:40 pm. She was the widow of the late EDMUND C. WILLIAMS. She was 65 years old, in the 66th year of her age. The remains will be sent to Knotts Island Saturday morning, December 15, 1906 by Norfolk and Southern Railway, for funeral and interment. GEORGE W. WILLIAMS Sunday, November 4, 1906 After a lingering illness, he died at 11:25 pm, Saturday, November 3, 1906 at his residence on Montalant Avenue. He was in his 52nd year of age and is survived by a wife and 4 children. For a number of years, until forced to retire on account of ill health, he conducted a paint and oil business in Norfolk. HANK WILLIAMS Friday, January 2, 1953 Oak Hill, WVA - singer and composer called the "King of Hillbillies" by his followers, died Friday, January 2, 1953 in his automobile on his way to fill an engagement in Ohio. The 29 year old one-time shoe shine boy, composer of the recent song hit, "Jambalaya", was brought to Oak Hill Hospital by his chauffeur. The chauffeur, CHARLES CARR, 18, said he became alarmed when he was unable to awaken Williams, who had been sleeping in a bed in the rear seat of the car. Williams was dead upon arrival at the hospital. The cause of death was not immediately announced, but Carr said Williams had been in poor health. Williams and Carr left Knoxville, Tenn last night for Canton, Ohio, where Williams was scheduled to make a New Year's Day appearance. They stopped in Bluefield, WVA early today and picked up a relief driver, DONALD SURFACE. Williams sang doleful mountain ballads in a nasal voice, accompanying himself on a guitar, which he began playing at the age of 6. The lanky singer shot to fame with his recording of "Lovesick Blues". He wrote the song himself and the record sold more than a million copies. Other songs composed by him included "Cold, Cold Heart", "Wedding Bells", "Mansion on the Hill", and "Move It Over". A Montgomery, Alabama resident, Williams currently was employed by Radio Station KWKH in Shreveport, LA. He also was under contract to MGM Recording Company and the MGM Pictures. He was featured for three years on the Grand Ole Opry broadcasts from Station WSM in Nashville, Tenn. But his contract was terminated last August for failure to appear for scheduled performances. Williams and the former, Miss BILLIE JONES of Bossler City, LA were married October 19 on the Stage of the Municipal Auditorium in New Orleans, where Williams was making personal appearances. He had been divorced earlier in 1952 by MRS.. AUDRA MAE WILLIAMS, who had sometimes been his stage partner. She lives in Nashville. Williams was born in Georgiana, Alabama. He had been scheduled to make a personal appearance in Charleston, WVA yesterday, but the plane on which he was traveling returned to Knoxville after bad weather prevented a landing at Charleston Williams and Carr then set out by automobile. Carr said that before they departed, Williams consulted a physician and was given two injections to enable him to sleep. Monday, January 5, 1953 Montgomery, Ala - Hillbilly Singer-Composer, drew his last and greatest packed house today. Silent thousands filed past his open casket and top folk artists twanged out his requiem in hillbilly hymns. Several people fainted in the crush that jammed Montgomery's Municipal Auditorium more than an hour before the services for the 29 years old farm boy who sang and composed his way to the top of the nation's hillbilly and popular record lists in six years. Fire Chief R.L. LAMPLEY, estimated the crowd at nearly 20,000. Williams' friends from Nashville's Grand Ole Opry were there with fiddles and electric guitars. Most of them played with tears streaming down their faces and broke down openly backstage. The audience was silent throughout the half-hour funeral service, but weeping broke out audibly as ROY ACUFF sang "I Saw The Light". It was Williams' favorite hymn and one he wrote, himself. He also was author of "Jambalaya", "Cold, Cold Heart", "Hey Good Looking" and others. The body-flanked by huge floral wreaths, including one shaped like the old guitar Williams carried with him to fame-lay just below the stage for an hour and a half before the service musicians turned their instruments behind the curtain backdrop. "I cannot preach Hank's funeral," Dr. HENRY L. LYON, pastor of the Highland Avenue Baptist Church, told the throng. "He preached it himself in song. He had a message written in the language of all the people." Williams died unexpectedly Thursday, January 1, 1953 as he lay in the back seat of a car en route to an engagement in Canton, Ohio. He had been given a sedative by a Nashville doctor beforehand. An autopsy was made, but the cause of death has not been determined.
