Bio
"We Miss Thee From Our Home Dear. We Miss Thee From Thy Place; A Shadow O'er Our Life Is Cast; We Miss Thy Smiling Face. Death of a Prominent and Pioneer Citizen Isaac M. Williams, a pioneer citizen of Williamson county, died at his home in North Georgetown last Thursday morning. While in poor health for several months he was thought to be improving and an hour or two before his death he walked around the premises and looked at his stock at the barns. Soon after his return to the house he was stricken suddenly and died before a physician could be summoned. The interment took place at the Berry's Creek cemetery.... In this old graveyard are buried the father and mother of Mr. Williams, several of his brothers and sisters, two of his children, and several other relatives. A large number of friends and relatives from Georgetown and elsewhere hurried at the first news of his death to the home of the stricken family and followed the remains to the last resting place.... Mr. Williams was in the farming and stock raising business on a large scale, and was widely known in this section of the State. By industry and close attention to business he accumulated a comfortable fortune, owning at the time of his death several thousand acres of Williamson county's richest land, large herds of cattle, and other live stock and valuable property. Decedent was an ex-Confederate soldier. In 1861, at the opening of the Civil War, he enlisted in Captain Ed Vontress' Company A, Morgan's Cavalry Battalion. Capt. Vontress was killed, and Captain John W. Posey succeeded to the Company command. Mr. Williams and his friend, Jack Harris, of Round Rock, joined the army together; they were messmates, and side by side they fought in every battle. They took part in the battles of Gravel Ridge, Cape Girardeau, Old Jackson, White Water, Little Rock, Pine Bluff, etc. Mr. Williams had two horses shot under him, at White Water and at Old Jackson, but neither he nor his comrade was ever wounded or captured. After the war he returned to Williamson county and resumed his life of farming and stock raising, which he pursued with profit and pleasure almost to the very hour of his death, for he could never be persuaded to leave all the work and management of his affairs to younger hands. Mr. Williams was a man of determination and force of character, with the courage of his convictions. He discharged his duty as a citizen with unswerving faith in what he believed was right. Of a generous nature, the appeals of charity met with liberal response at his hands. Reliable and trustworthy in his dealings, his many friends had an abiding faith and confidence in his integrity. His death severs a home companionship of over fifty years and his stricken wife has the earnest sympathy of scores of personal friends and of the entire community. ~~ Full obituary published in the Williamson County Sun , Georgetown, Texas, Thurs., Feb. 10, 1916, p.1 -------------------------
