Commerce, and took advantage of
every opportunity to advance the
cause Of good citizenship. In church
work he was also conspicuous, being
In charge of a Sunday school mission
and a deacon In the First Congrega-

life. He was the soul Of honesty, and
was well equipped mentally for his
chosen profession, being a close stu

of the ability to Judge well between
good and bad investments. In this
connection he is credited with keep
ing his bank clear OF more than one
indiscreet transaction. A self-made
man, he grew up with the banking
business and was thus enabled TO
study all the branches connected
with It. He apprenticed himself To
banker in Liverpool when boy, and
still stuck to the business when ne
came to Detroit in 1865.
On arriving here he joined the ctan
of the American National bank as as
sistant cashier, remaining with the
institution for II years. In 1881 he
helped to organize the Commercial
National bank and was made cashier
and then succeeded to the presidency
This position he held until the Com
mercial National was consolidated
with the First National q few years
ago, when he was elected TO the pres
idency of the combined institutions.
He stuck to his post until short
time ago and was the Oldest banker
In the city In point OF service.
Mr.. Williams was also interested III
other concerns, being q director OF
the Security Trust Co., and the Mich
igan Savings bank, and secretary and
treasurer OF the Detroit Twist Drill
Co.
In fraternal and social circles he
was also prominent being a member
of the Masons and OF the Country
club.
The home life of Mr.. Williams was
Of the ideal sort. he and Mrs. Will
liams being inseparable companions.

widow, Mrs. Kate Chambers VIII

Anglesea. Wales; and three brothers:
