Charles with his wife and daughter, Mary and Marjory Williams. Charles was called "CB" by most that knew him, CB standing for, Charles Blaine. They lost their only daughter from sickness when she was seven years old and they both grieved for her the rest of their lives never quite getting over her death. They both are at rest next to their daughter.

Charles Blaine Williams - this is my grandfather and he was the most kind and gentle man I ever knew in my life. He was brave and stood in front of a man that just murdered his own family and two neighbors and was about to kill a woman and her baby when my grandfather confronted him and took the man's shotgun from him and told him to go back into his house and wait on the police to arrive. He worked most of his life on the RR and was a station master and telegraph operator. His position required that he carry a firearm which he did but did not like to carry a weapon and was thankful that he never had to use it. He retired from the B&O RR and was the station master in Greensburg, Indiana at the time of his retirement. He died a few years after his 50th wedding anniversary and he told his wife to "tell the boys he said goodbye" he knew he wasn't coming out of the hospital alive. He died the next day. He was a true Christian man and lived his life as such. He never drank alcohol and I never heard him say a cuss word. I love you, granddad.

Charles Blaine Williams (called,"CB") was the most gentle man I have ever known, he was my grandfather. He worked on the RR (mainly the B&O) and was the station chief and telegraph operator at various places around Indiana but retired as the RR station master in Greensburg, Indiana where he lived. I never heard him raise his voice and he did not drink alcohol but did love his pipes and cigars but didn't inhale them. He was loving, kind and brave. There was a man that shot and killed his family and then shot and killed two of his neighbors and was about to shoot a woman and her baby walking down the street but my grandfather walked from his porch to confront the man and stood in front of his shotgun and told the man that he had killed enough and he took the shotgun from the man and told him to go back inside his home and wait on the police. He saved the woman's life and her baby. He was a true Christian and lived his life as such. He died about three years after celebrating his 50th wedding anniversary. I love you Granddad.
