From Bleeding Kansas
J. F. Williams of Houston creek
Returned last week from the south-
eastern part of Kansas, where he
went in December last to see an
afflicted brother. The unfortunate
man was beyond human aid and
gave up the struggle for life about
two weeks after Mr. Williams ar-
rival at his bedside. The deceas-
ed was nearly sixty years of age
at the time of his death and was
one of the pioneers of the Sun-
flower state. During the civil
war, when Kansas as a frontier
country furnished the scenes for
many a bloody skirmish and all
kinds of lawlessness, Mr. Williams
had just attained his majority and
was looking for a location for a
career which subsequently proved
so successful. He was in the vi-
cinity of Lawrence at the time of
the memorable Quantrel raid and
assisted in rebuilding the city
after its devastation by the army
of that celebrated leader. Mr.
Williams had been connected with
the history of his section of Kan-
sas for many years and was inter-
ested in many successful enter-
prises, being at the time of his
death a member of the board of
directors of a leading banking
institution. He had not seen his
brother from the Black Hills for
many years and the meeting was
as joyful as the parting was sor-
rowful. After the death of his
brother Mr. Williams spent the
remainder of the winter with rela-
tives and enjoyed his sojourn as
well as possible under the circum-
stances. On his return he was
accompanied by his niece Myrtle
Williams, a bright little orphan of
nine summers who will make her
home with the family of her uncle.
