  William 'Bud' Williams is buried in an unmarked grave beside his wife, Maude Swett Williams.  William Henry Williams 1870 - 1952 unmarked grave  George Williams 1 February 1891 - 31 May 1911   George
was the last child born to, Thomas and Rebecca Williams. Not much is
known about his childhood, but I found census records saying his family
lived in Mantua, TX. (which is now Anna.). On his death certificate it
says he was married. This is false.
What is fact, is that when he was seventeen, he was arrested, and sent to prison for stealing a horse with his friend John Leo Skipworth. Records can be found at Huntsville, Texas prison, and the Grayson County Courthouse. Family legend is that George went to 'call upon' a girl, and found another man had beat him to it. In revenge, George stole the man's horse, and rode it to death. George was sent to Huntsville Prison, where he came down with sugar diabetes. He was released, and passed away a few weeks later surrounded by his parents.
