Hon. NORMAN WILLIAMS.-Although
We have published several notices of this
Gentleman since his decease, we need
make no apology for laying before our
caders the following "reminiscences, taken
rom this weeks Woodstock standard. rs
hey are Of State interest:
In the summer of 1914 Mr.. Williams
vas quietly settled in the practice of the
aw in this village. His father had been
he Judge of Probate for twelve wears,
md had been for some time solicited by
eyeral persons to appoint him Register
If Probate, but did not give his assent
i'll Dee, 1914, when Mr.. Williams was
to the office, and held it one
ear He was afterwards appointed To .
his same office by Mr.. Dcnison, in 1920.
md held it for three years.
In the year 1920 Mr. Williams was
'dviscd ago to Montpelier and take the
,thce of Auditor of Accounts which was
hen held by w Hall. This he accord
ngly did. When it was understood that
he was candidate for the Office he found ,
hat he had plenty of friends, among
whom We're John c. Thompson, then
'esiding in iartland, ID. Kellogg. Horace
Everett of Windsor, and others He was
for the office by VIM. c. Brad !
ey of Westminster, who did it 50 neatly ,
that Mr.. Williams came in with 100 ma !
ority-all the votes but 20 lie held the
post till October. 1923, when he resigned.
During the summer Of 1893 something
was occasionally said TO him about the ,
office of Secretary of State then held by
Mr.. Sladc. which some supposed would
become vacant. After having been urged ;
o stand for the place by several persons, y
md having looked the ground over very t
'arefully, he concluded to become a can
lidate. He went to Montpelier at
he usual time. On the very morning
If the general election it was very cur
rent that Slade could not be elected
Two candidates were spoken of namely,
Mr.. Aiken of Windsor, and Mr.. Berry of
liuildhall. The latter was to be support
ID by the northeastern members. Mr.
Williams found, however, that he could
have the support of almost all Windsor
County in preference to Mr.. Aiken He
therefore felt quite safe, as he was sure |
Berry could not run, and even if Slade
were elected, he had nothing to regret on
his own part, as he had never tried to dis
'uade any one from voting for him. The
