WILLIAM J. WILLIAMS,
Superintendent of the Columbus publio schools, died, at hia home on Fourteenth
street last Thursday morning at 1 o'clock, after an ..illness of nearly three weeks,
death having come as the result of a carbuncle. "" '
By his death Columbus loses one of the ablest and most highly respected
citizen, who has lived here; the schools have suffered an irreparable loss and the
churches one of their best workers. '
Prof. Williams was elected superintendent 'of 'the Columbus schools and
came here with his family of three children, Fred., Marjorie and Edith, Septem
ber 1, 1894, and since that time he has endeared himself to all who have come in
contact with him. School children, from the infant to the senior grade had a
profound respect that is hard to explain to one who has not been with him in his
school work. In his contact with all, and especially in his school work, his
moral strength was always prominent In visiting the different rooms, he sel
dom failed to relate some pleasing anecdote or story that would make the faces
brighten and the work lighter. He continually impressed the scholars with the
idea that it was no disgrace to be poor, and would tell of his own hardships in
early life struggling for an education.
In the Baptist church, he was invaluable, always willing and ready to
work for his beloved cause, that of Christ He was prominent in every part of
the church work. The official working of the church, the Sunday school, the
choir, the Young Peoples' Endeavor, the prayer meetings, all shared his atten
tion and many times he was called upon and ably discoursed from the pulpit.
William J. Williams was born in Licking county, Ohio, three miles from
Granville, and six from Newark, June 4, 1845. He was the third son of a family
of six boys and five girls. The family were brought up on a farm, yet four of
them were graduates of Dennison University, and seven of them have been
teachers. After his tenth year his schooling was limited to fonr months during
the winter. He worked his way through the college course, beginning teaching
at the age of 17, teaching six years during his college life, graduating in the
classical course of Dennison University in the year 1871. He began superintend
ing schools at Winamac, Indiana, in 1871, remaining two years, then went to
Rochester, Indiana, and was superintendent of city schools there eight years.
Here he was married June 20, 1878, to Miss Rose Bracket, there being three
children of the union, all of which survive them Fred., a graduate of the Co
lumbus High school, and of the State University last year; Marjorie, a graduate
in the Senior grade of the High school, and Edith, a few years younger. After
superintending the schools at Rochester, Prof. Williams served two terms as
superintendent of the public schools of Fulton county, Indiana. From this po
sition he was called to the chair of Pedagogy of Franklin'College, Iadiana, which
he held for two years, and then accepted thesuperintendency of the Franklin city
schools, which he held for six years, resigning on account of his wife's failing
health. In the spring of 1894, after his wife's death, he accepted a temporary
position, principal of the High school at Marion, Indiana, four months, and then
removed to this city September 1, 1894, to continue'his work as educator.
August 14, 1895, Prof. Williams was married'to Mrs. J. S. Hen rich, and the
two families have been united in atvery happy household.
The city schools closed Thursday and Friday, showing respect for their,
leader.,.. Friday morning the city school board took- charge .of the services and
assisted by the teachers, arranged the services at the opera bouse. The opera
house was draped in black and white, and many potted plants were brought to
decorate the stage. The flowers were beautiful, the pupils, teachers and many
friends all wishing to show their love by kind remembrances. The remains
were taken to the opera house at 9:30 Friday morning and lay in state until ser
vices began at 12:30. Teachers of the different rooms took their pupils to view
the remains. During the time the body lay in state, different members of the
High School Cadets remained at the head and foot of the casket as a guard of
honor, Peter P. Duffy and Albert Becker standing during the entire service. At
1230 the teachers, members of the school board, musicians and singers were on
the stage when the family of the deceased, escorted by the two attending min
isters, Rev. Pnlis and Rev. Munro, came .to the opera house. The choir, con
sisting of Messrs. Cornelius and Hickok, Mrs. Geer and Miss Galley accompanied
by Miss Becher, furnished the music. Rev. Munroo read the scripture lessons
and offered prayer, after which Rev. Pnlis delivered a beautiful tribute to the
memory of the deceased, taking for his text, "For we know that if our earthly
house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not
made with handB, eternal in the heavens."
After the services the remains were taken to the depot escorted by the
relatives, school board, teachers. High School Cadets and High school pupils,
where the body was taken on the 2:10 train to Franklin, Indiana, where services
were held on Sunday, after which the body was consigned to its last resting
place.
A brother of the deceased arrived here Tuesday, and he, with Fred. Wil
liams, accompanied the remains to Indiana.
