From the Ontario County Journal, 9 September 1881

We chronicle this week another old man gone. Oliver S. Williams died on Friday, Sept. 2, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Peter VanOsdoll, and had he lived until the Monday following he would have been 88 years old. Mr. Williams was one of the early settlers of this vicinity, having come on from the east some 80 years ago, settling in Middlesex, where for many years he was a prominent farmer. Many of his relatives reside there at the present time. About 50 years ago he came to this town and has resided here ever since, with the exception of a few years that he lived with his son, T. H. Williams, in Canandaigua. He was the father of J. C. Williams, of this village, at whose residence the funeral took place on Monday last. But four of eight children were present, one of them, Mrs. Dr. Hagadorn, of Michigan, being providentially here on a visit. Mr. Williams was in his day quite a large property owner, and one of the leading farmers of the town, a man eminently respected by everyone. He was buried in the Italy cemetery, beside his first wife.
