Subject: KFY: OBIT: Williams, 1897 - Gallatin Co
This is from a news clipping with no date or source. Based on the date of
birth and his age at death it is early 1897.
Gallatin County lost one of its most distinguished and venerably citizens
Tuesday in the death of Hon. Myrix J. Williams, which sad event occurred at
his home near Glencoe, at about 11 o'clock that day, after an illness of
about a week. He had been in failing health for some time his advanced
years being the chief cause, the human machinery after nearly eight six
year of active service, giving way before the ravages of time. Thu passes
away from the scene of worldy action one of the best men that had ever
lived in this good county, a man whose useful life has been a blessing to
mankind and he goes to the well earned peaceful rest with the benedictions
of "Well done thou good and faithful servant," from every circle. M.J.
Williams was born near Richmond, Madison County, Ky., July 14th, 1811, and
was the son of John and Elizabeth Williams natives of Virginia. Mr.
Williams came to Gallatin County with his father when about 19 years old,
and settled at Napoleon where he was married to Miss Junietta Gouge,
daughter of James Gouge, of Grant County., whose union was blessed with
four children, three of whom survive, viz: Mrs. Huey of Boone County, Mrs.
Castleman and Mrs. Crouch of Gallatin County. His wife dying he was united
in marriage to Miss Martha J. Turley, daughter of William Turley of
Napoleon, to whom seven children were born, the only survivor being our
beloved friend, Rev. J. Frank Williams, pastor of the Baptist church at
Harrodsburg, Ky. Death took away his loved companion and left him desolate
and lonely, and after years of solitude, he again married, this time to
Miss Minerva Donaldson, a daughter of Andrew Donaldson, of Carrollton, Ky.,
who with their one daughter, Mrs. J.E. Wolford, of Louisville, Ky, survive
the beloved husband and father. He was like a grand old patriarch, his
wisdom and counsel being sought by his numerous connections. Besides his
children he has 16 grand-children, 30 great-grandchildren and 2
great-great-grand-children, all of whom have promise of being useful and
valuable citizens. The deceased also leaves one sister, Mrs. Mary Darnall,
of Denver, Colorado, who is now in her 84th year. Mr. Williams moved to
Glencoe in 1857, from Napoleon, where large circle of friends. The latch
string of his hospitable home was always on the outside to his numerous
visitors and a most cordial welcome was extended to all. He will be long
remembered for his many good qualities of heart and mind and a silent tear
will be dropped by the many who enjoyed his sterling friendship. His
funeral took place from his late home Thursday afternoon, and was attended
by a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends. Rev. George W.
Hill, of the Williamstown Baptist Church, conducted the funeral services,
and the remains were in charge of the Masonic order. The floral
decorations were very pretty and appropriate, a number being tributes from
absent friends. After the choir had sung "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," Rev.
Hill read a text from mica, 2nd chapter, 10th verse, followed by prayer;
then the choir renderd "Rock of Ages," and Rev. Hill preached a feelin g
and appropriate discourse, from the Hebrews, 4th chapter, 9th verse. The
Glencoe Masonic Lodge then took the charge of the remains and rendered
their beautiful ritual service, completing it at the grave in the family
cemetery wher ethe body of their beloved friend and brother was tenderly
laid to rest. The active pall bearers were his six grandsons, D.E.
Castleman of Burlington: Thomas Castleman of Florence, Ky; M.J. Castleman,
Rev. Oscar Huey, of Carrollton, James Huey of Boone County, and George
Crouch. The honorary pall bearers were Robert R. Russell, James L. Grubbs,
Robert Carlton, J.A. McPherson, John Skirvin and Robert E. Foster. All of
the neighboring Masonic lodges were represented.

On the fly leaf of the Bible is entered at the top right corner:

price $3.00
The Bible is large and about 9 by 12 inches. The cover was brown and has
been restored recently. Some of the books of the Bible are missing and
it is only about three inches thick. The Record Page is in the middle of
the Bible and some entries are illegible. The page was laminated when
the Bible was rebound and extra pages were put in. The Record Page has
entries on both sides of the page.
Some entries were made after the death of A. J. Pearson, probably by his
second wife, Carrie Hollis Pearson. The Bible was handed down to the
youngest son, William Nesbit Pearson, and after the death of William and
his wife, Fannie, it was given to a grandson of the oldest son of Will
and Fannie Pearson.
