Frank G. Williams
April 12, 1875 - April 21, 1907
After an illness of several months, during which he bore his suffering patiently, Brother Frank G. Williams, passed peacefully away at an early hour Monday morning.  For four years he has been a faithful and consistent member of this council, and sincerely devoted to the welfare of its members. During our acquaintance with him we had learned to admire his rugged honesty and his kind and generous nature.  His death removes from our midst a  member who was faithful to every principle of our honored order.  We sincerely deplore his death in the prime of manhood, at a time when his aid and influence is so greatly needed by his beloved wife and children. To his bereaved family we extend our most profound sympathy in this, their severe affliction, and we trust that the memory of his good life will be a consolation and a guiding star to his good wife and children....John J. Brennan, James C. Ferry, Frank M. Lyon, Committee
