General Notes:
Thomas J. Williams
The funeral service for Thomas Jefferson (Uncle Tom) Williams of Center City was held Tuesday of this week at the Center City Baptist Church.
Mr. Williams was born in Dalton, Georgia and moved to Texas in 1879 where he reared a good family of three daughters. His daughters are as follows: Mrs. Allen Weathers, Roy, N. Mex.; Mrs Frank Sheldon, Star, Texas; and Mrs. Nelson Wagoner whith whom he made his home until his death.
Besides his daughters, Uncle Tom was survived by six brothers: Dallas of Georgia; Harley of Plainview, Texas; Jim of Hamilton; Joe of Brownwood; Sam of the state of Arizona; George of McGregor, Texas. Eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
He was laid to rest beside his wife in the Hurst Ranch Cemetery at Star, after a lovely funeral service directed by Rev. D. A. Bryant, Pastor of the local Baptist Church.
Mr. Williams had a host of friends who expressed their love and sympathy to the family in floral offerings and in words and deeds.
The Center City Baptist Church, where he has been a member since his youth, will miss his life. His devotion to, and love for his Church and his Savior took him regularly to the services. His long life of more that 86 years though ended shall live on in the hearts of his family and his friends, and his soul is at home with his Maker. 1
