Back in the .atoriBjr jlays of the Revolution, when most of America was an unexplored wilderness,, this valiant lad of sixteen shouldered his clumsy Hintlook musket and went out to' fight a man's battle ' against .the proud Redcoats.

It Is after this David that David Williams was named by his God-fearing parents and ever since the name David has been need as a Christian name by the Williams famljy, J - ' - , Just as ia great operas one doml nant theme or melody constantly re curs,. Just as one note of color often runs through all the work of some great artist. Just as one peculiar type of philosophy dominates the work of a master poet, so the name "David" mag through our family record to the present day , la a lesser degree the names Stephen and Henry are empha sised; f Af ' ""'tL. son waa " BenJ.

Ia the spring of 1914 twins were bora to Mr. and Mrs. David .Henry Williams of Wallace. This Is the first such event ia the family record and the baby , boy of the pair , hears the name David Stephen Williams. Whether or not future generations will cling to the fine old name 5t our Revolutionary ancestor remains to be seen, but so far it has not been neg lected.
