We regret to announce the death Of
Mr.. Joseph Williams, an extensively
known and highly esteemed citizen Of
Granger county, at his residence,
Rocky Springs, last Saturday evening.
He had been severely afflicted for
years, and only recently returned from
a stay of some months at Hot Springs,
Ark, whose noted waters gave himsno
relief. His malady was cancer of the
tongue. Mr.. Williams was about
fifty four years old, aud the youngest
brother Of the late Hon. james vii.
liams, United States minister to Con
stantinople under President BUch,
auan. and of Captain VIM. Williams,
of Knoxville. He leaves a wife,
| children and numerous relatives, who
are comforted by the belief that his
death was not without the hope Of O
blissful eternity.
