WRIGHT M. WILLIAMS e LAID AT REST

Wright Mcdowell Williams
 was born in Cynthiana, Kentuc-
 ky about forty-five years ago.
 His father was Samuel Hub
 bard Williams, a Confederate soldier, and his mother is Kizzle
 Wright Williams, now living at
 Williams, Arizona, with her son Lawrence Samuel Williams. aFrom both parents he comes of
 a long line of Welsh and
 Scotch-IriSh ancestors, who set
 tied in Virginia and fought in
 the Colonial and Revolutionary
 Wars.
 Before he haC reached his
 second year, that fell disease,
 consumption, had robbed him of a father. So, his manhood
 was of his own making,-his
 achievements the result of his
 own management. After fin ishing the schools of his native town, he spent some time in
 preparatory school at Green
 wood, Va, tutored by the Din widdie Bros. expecting to enter the junior class of the Cniver- Sity of Va. Deciding that for him business was the call, he discontinued his studies and spent awhile in Chicago in commercial life. But his pas sion for newspaper work over came him and he accepted an offer from the Newport News "HeraId". After some suc-- csesful years here, a call from Richmond, Va. placed him in the Editorial Department of ttThe Virginian" as it's chief. For personal reasons he gave up the position for one on the ETimes-Dispatch" where he spent the best years of his life. Seeing that his health was giv- ing, he tried the warmer eli mate of Norfolk, Va. working on the tLedger-Dispatch" From this place he came to Ari- zona in 1915 where his work was confined to the Gazette" of Phoenix. But after few years he was induced to try California for his relief, being engaged by the ''Los Angeles Times He did not improve, so returned to Arizona to rest | at his home, but could not re- sist offer from the ''El Paso Times, which proved to be his [ last effort. He fell at his post | at the beginning of the year. 1 After several weeks of des- perate illness his indomitable | will enabled him to be brought | as far as Phoenix toward his | home. He died at Montezuma l Place March 18th, was brought 1 to his home and buried at Will Hams cemetary March 31st. l The funeral was conducted ! from the Episcopal church Of he was a devoted mem Der. The burial service was read by the Rev. MT. Gillies. The hymns, Crossing the Bar" Lead Kindly Light" and Asleep in Jesus, which were beautifully rendered, was the of musical friends.
 Wherever he had lived come i words of sympathy and esteem, testlfylng to his richness of | character, his 1ovable nature, his intellectual worth, and his usefulness in business. From the Governors Secretary comes this message:
 Those of us who knew him and had worked with him could not help admiring him inn mensely. He was one of the whitest men that ever lived, and l feel that not only Arizona but the newspaper profession as a whole, has sustained a loss in his death.''
