A Pioneer's Death
Thomas Williams is Called to a Final Reward
Thomas Williams, who lived near the county line south of the city, died Sunday at 8 p.m. after an illness of only two hours of heart failure. He was 83 years of age.
He was born in Kentucky, July 23, 1817 and moved with his father to the farm on which he died when he was seven years of age. He has resided continuously in the same neighborhood for seventy-six years.
When he moved to Hamilton County there were only two other families of white settlers in the county. The Conner and Roberts having settled here a short time before. His mother-in-law Margaret Hole, owned the land on which Indianapolis is now situated and the only sign of the capitol was one blacksmith shop. There was not a house on the present site of Noblesville and not a bridge nor a road was visible in the unbroken forest. A few bridle paths as all that guided the traveler in those pioneer days.
Mr. Williams braely met the duties and hardships of the early settlers of this county and was one of our honorable, upright, christian citizens until the time of his death, which came without warning, but found the pioneer father in Israel fully prepared to go. The funeral was held Tuesday with interment in the West cemetery. His aged wife and two daughter, Mrs. Mary Eller of Noblesville and Mrs. Columbia Nance, of Fishers Station survive him.
