The Late Norman Williams.

Henry w. Bishop of Chicago and
Pittsfield is thus quoted in the Chi
cago Evening Post in tribute to an
intimate friend. Il native of Wood
stock:
"rhe death OF Norman Williams
brings sorrow to the heart of every
one who knew him. MIR. Williams
was fortunate beyond most men in
the possession of Il wide circle of
friends who had been drawn to him
in a peculiarly tender and strong
way-and he held them to the last.
| think it can be truly said of him
that his strong emotional nature,
manifesting itself in his quick SYM
pathies and his kind acts, dis
tinguished HIM among men. His
constant, nnsparing, personal inter-
est in many people whose nccessi-
ties and suffcrings touched him will
not be forgotten. HIS LOYALTY to his
friends was intense and unchanging
and his devotion to grea, interests
which were confided to him was
genuine and effective. In all posi-
tons of trust to which he was SO
often called he WAS faithful and I'M
compromising. He will bc rcmcn-
bered as exhibiting in the complete
ness of his beautiful, strong char
acter the best example OF stcadfast
friend and useful citizen. And SO,
tor more than quarter of IA CEN
tnry, blessing and Frightening with
his presence. Norman Williams
lived among us admired. respected
and beloved"
