John C. Williams
An industrious and well-to-do agriculturist of Niles Twp., John C Williams has a small but well improved farm on sect 28, and is there busily employed in the prosecution of that independent calling upon which the wealth and the prosperity of our nation so largely rests. The descendant of an early pioneer family of this county, he was born in Hamilton Twp, near Eaton, July 18, 1854, a son of the late Enoch M. Williams, and a grandson of Thomas Williams.
As a boy, John C. Williams attended the district school, gleaning his early education during its short terms, and as early as practicable was initiated into the mysteries of farming. Taking up this as a permanent occupation, he located first near Muncie, afterwards living in Sharon for 4 years. About 1890 he came to Niles Twp, purchased his present farm of 37 acres, and, acting on the principle that a small farm well managed was much better than an extensive estate, he has since been here prosperously employed in his chosen calling, reaping both pleasure and profit from his labors.

The mother died March 10, 1907 aged 84 years, leaving 9 children, 31 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
