From the Manitowoc Herald, 29 Aug 1861:
Samuel Williams, owner of the Williams House died.
Manitowoc Herald, August 28, 1861: "DIED. At Indianola, Texas, on the 1st ult., Samuel Williams, aged 51 years. Mr. Williams was one of our oldest and most esteemed citizens. He was the proprietor of the William's House, in this Village, and ever had a reputation for strict integrity, gentlemanly courtesy, and close attention to business. Of late years, ill health had impaired his strength, and interfered with the activity and energy which would in his case, joined as it was with scrupulous honesty of purpose, have given him a high position among his fellow men. He was compelled last fall, by failing health, to visit a warmer climate, and after a short stay in San Antonia, he went to Indianola where he died as above stated. His faithful and devoted wife accompanied him on his long and weary journeying in search of his lost health, and her presence soothed his anguish, and cheered his last moments. She has returned to this place and her claims for the sympathy of the community will not be disregarded, for the deceased was respected most by them who knew him best."
