The entire County and particularly this community in which he lived and labored so unsparingly for so many years, is indeed grieved and grievously bereft in the passing of Dr. C. G. Williams.
We have lost a most lovable friend and a physician whose attention to both our white and colored citizens were never failing and always without a thought of personal gain. Night and day he was at our immediate call, kindly, thoughtful and most understanding in the sick room; never hesitating in calling consultation where in doubt; endless in his efforts to make our lives more comfortable and safe.
The exteem [sic] and respect in which he was held was attested to by the closing of all schools in the District of which he was represented and the County School and of the beautiful floral expression of sympathy and affection which his widow received from our public schools hosts of loving friends and Colored parish.
A word must be said of the love the community bears for his widow, the former Mrs. Hortense Parker, of Index. Her most efficient and kindly services to those coming to her home for aid, when the Doctor was absent, her untiring nature with all of us who called for his aid constantly by phone are appreciated by the entire community. Our deep affection go out to her, his five children, sister and brother.
