During the month of July Hert ford County suffered no smell low in tiie denth of two of her promin ent end useful netive born citizens. Of the older, end the first to die, Williem Patrick Teylor of Wiu tonj N. C., bis friend. Judge Winston has well spoken ill the Hertford Herald. Of the other John Thomas William* of Herrells ville, much deserves to be said. He was familiarly known and loved by his friends as* Tom Wil liams, his geniality and good humor were well known, and his many friends every where were glad to extend a hearty Welcome. Fond of a joke, and quick to catch the humor of it, no one enjoyed them better, but they had no sting. He was bqrn in 1851, the son of the late Rev. B. B. Wil liams, an honored and much be loved minister of the Baptist church in this community, who left tu his son strung and well de fined views upon general questions, with a fearlessness it defending tliem. Oil aceount of the civil war, liia educational advantage* were not very great, but liia strong mind enabled him to graap readily great questions. Upon question*, re ligious or political he was quick to take a stand, and he could present and defend his views strongly and pleasantly upon them. Mr. Williams, in politics, was a Democrat, and took a lively inter [est in all political matters, es | pecially local politics. He stood square upon all issues that tended to uplift and better his people. He was progressive in all tbuoght and believed in advancement. In bis t'piuion, universal education was the best and surest way to accijdC I plisli tins end. He was for several veara an honored and useful member of the Board of Education of bis County. In 1912 be was elected a mem ber of the Legislature from this I County. Tbis position he filled I with credit to himself, and with satisfaction to bis people. For a number of years be was a member of the Board of Trustees foi Obowan College, and few men were more useful than he in this capacity. Prudent in speech, wise in counsel and generous with his means, he loved the college and gave it his full support. Aa a member of the Baptiat Cliurcn lie was loyal to its doctrins and teachings, but no bigot. He bad charily fpr all sects and classes. Mr. Williams married Miss Addie McDade who survives him. Thrice fortunate was he in his choice of a life comiianion, she was a model wife and mother, as well as church worker. He spent the most of his life at his beautiful and well I appointed borne as farmer and merchant, his borne life was ideal. He loved bis family* and no sacri fice was too great for bim to make for the pleasure and happiness of bis loved ones. He was confied to bis bed several months, and during bis long illness lie wss cheerful and I bright to the end. Death seemed to have had no terror for him and he would talk about it with the greatest assur ance. H? died on the 29th, day of July 1915 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. A. W. Greene, in Ahoskie. N. C., leaving him surviving, a faithful wife and five loving and devoted daughters to mourn their great loss. He died in the full possession of liia mental faculties, in charity with all men, and in the Peace of God. Jno- E. Van*.
