Alpheus A. Williams died at his home in Bethany, Mo, February 25, 1904, aged 73 years, 2 months and 4 days.
Deceased was born in St Lawrence County, NY in 1830, and was married to Charlotte A. Freeman of Wollcott, Wayne County, NY., August 18, 1850 and moved from New York to McClain County, Illinois in 1857, and after residing there 18 months came to Harrison county, Mo., where he had since resided, except the time he was in the army, until the time of his death.
A. A. Williams enlisted in Co G, 6th Regt., in 1862 and served until the close of the war. His record was "a good and true soldier, always ready for duty," and he was much esteemed by his comrades. He was a member of T. D. Neal Post No 121, G.A.R. in which he held official positions, and was a Past Post Commander at the time of his death.
Mr. Williams was a good citizen and was always found on the moral side of all questions, affecting the welfare of the community in which he lived. He was one of the Justices of the Peace of Bethany township for many years and was an alderman of the City of Bethany at the time of his death. In all of his official relations, he was always held in high esteem by those with whom he associated, and was ever recognized as a moral, honest and upright citizen. He was the father of nine children, four of whom with his beloved wife, survive him and were at his bedside at the time of his death. His children now living are Mrs. Dora E. Small of Fairfax, Mo., L. E. Williams of Bethany, Mo., Mrs. Effie Noll of Gilman, Mo., and A. A. Williams, Jr., also of Gilman.
Funeral services were held at his late residence Friday, February 26, 1904, conducted by Rev. W. F. Kennedy of Gilman, assisted by the members of the Post of which he was a member, who conducted the services in a very impressive manner at Miriam Cemetery, where his body was laid to rest, to await the Resurrection Morn.
Truly a good citizen, neighbor and friend has gone, and he will be missed by his comrades and friends, but most of all by his aged wife who has been in feeble health for years, and whom he so tenderly cared for.
The widow and children have the sympathy of the community, friends and all who knew him.
