WILLIAMS OLDEST RESIDENT John Williams is the town's oldest resident. Mr. Williams was born June 2, 1866, the son of Canaan and Elizabeth Williams. He has lived in or near Williams his entire life. Mr. Williams can recall the building of every house in the town except one, the Garrett Williams house. He recalls distinctly the building of the covered bridge located southwest of town. He re- ceived hts early schooling at the Chase School. In 1896 he entered Central Normal College at Danville, Indiana, and graduated from that school in Business Administration. He, also, took advanced work at New Albany, Indiana. CENTURY-OLD HOUSE Garrett Williams, in 1849, just one hundred years ago this year, built the first house in the community of Williams. The house is built of poplar and walnut timber, cut from the farm. The rooms follow the old tradition of those times of ceiling the rooms with wide plank instead of plastering. Considering the age, the house is in excellent state of repair. , THE COVERED B IDGE Just outside the town of Williams stands an histor- ical landmark, the old covered bridge. It is one of the very few left in the state of Indiana, there being only about three more remaining intact. It is a pic- turesque picture any artist might be proud to paint. y s
