*******
IN MEMORY OF MACE
WILLIAMS.
The charactor of this sketch was born in Madison County,
Arkansas,
about the year 1833. No one knows his exact age but he
was near 76
years of age.
He came to Texas when a mere boy and settled in
Williamson County, near
Georgetown, and remained there until the Civil War
broke out. He then
worked in the tan yard and on the hay field preparing
leather and hay
for the Confederate army.
After the war he wandered about among strangers until
about fifteen
years ago he came to Burnet county and settled with
his sister, Mrs.
Mitcheltree, at whose home he
died, July 13, 1908.
He obeyed the Gospel in 1894 under the preaching of
R.T. Howell. His
body was laid to rest in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery,
July 14, at 4
o'clock, Elder W.A. Shultz conducting the funeral
service.
In the death of Uncle Mace we realize that another one
of Texas old
landmarks is gone, and when we look about us we can
only see a few that
remain to tell us of the early days of our Lone Star
State.
To the bereaved relatives we can only say that God
does all things
well; and in the near future we will be permitted to
meet our loved
ones in that home where parting comes no more and
where sickness and
pain are unknown.
Friend"
