DR. B. F. WILLIAMS was born in Pomfret, Chautauqua county, New York June 27, 1811, and came to Lower Sandusky in October, 1822. He attended school at the academy in Sangersfield, New York, after which he returned to Fremont in 1829. About two years later he began the study of medicine with Dr. Anderson, with whom he remained three years. He then went to Cincinnati, where he became a student of Dr. Drake, and attended lectures. He graduated in 1835 or 1836. During his stay in Cincinnati he became acquainted with and married Miss Sarah Addison, a descendant of the English author, Joseph Addison. He then returned to Lower Sandusky and began the practice of medicine, in which he continued until the time of his death, which occurred February 9, 1849 from erysipelas, contracted during the erysipelas epidemic. Dr. Williams' untimely death terminated what would have been an honorable and successful career. His mental powers were good, and he applied himself closely to study. He was exceedingly fond of scientific pursuits, and possessed excellent literary taste. His manners were cultivated and agreeable, and his character pure and above reproach.
