A couple of years ago lifte,Williams was kicked by a horse and trouble developed from this old injury, trouble •Wleich continued to develop in Spite of all that medical skill could 08 to control it, and fin- ally terminated in his death, Mr. Williams was the son of Charles White Williams, who came to Canada front England as a young man .in the early half of the 19th century and who, bought from the Canada Company the farm upon which his son died on Saturday. This young .Engilshmen was a sort of one of the old English families and was very highly educated. For soma yeam he held the position of tecieher of languages in the old Grammar School at Goderich and it was in -dint town that the subject of this sketch ISMS born, the twenty-seventh in dir- ect line to bear the old,family name of Charles White. His eldest son also bears it and, in 'turn, his little S071 bears this name. The Williams' have been proud of theie lineage, which they 'trace back without a break for twenty-seven generatioms and of their family coat of arms.
