JAMES WILLIAMS DEAD IN 100TH YEAR
Hughesdale resident lacked but few months of attaining century mark.
ILL BUT NINE DAYS
Born in Canada, deceased led an outdoor life- was heavy smoker, but seldom drank.
Lacking a few months of reaching the century mark, James Williams of Central avenue, Hughesdale, died yesterday afternoon after an illness of nine days. Up to the time of his final illness he did not experience any serious sickness.
Born June 11, 1830 at Granby, Ontario, Canada, Mr Williams led an outdoor life during most of his 99 years. He was a farmer in Canada, where he passed the first 40 years of his life. He emigrated to Pawtucket at the two-score mark. There he worked as a laborer. He also did some trapping in the woods around Pawtucket.
Always a quiet, easy going man, he never engaged in any stimulating or exciting pastimes or callings. He was a heavy smoker, but he seldom drank strong liquor. he was a hearty eater, and partook of a good meal Christmas Day. He had no taste for music, but was a good whistler, according to his son, James H. Williams, with whom he made his home for the past two years.
For 38 years he worked very little. He sat around, walked about and talked seldom. He gave up smoking 25 years ago.
He was married to Mary King of Granby at that town 67 years ago. The couple had nine children, two of them now dead. Mrs. Williams died four years ago. The children who survive are Mrs Frank Cooney of Central Falls, Mrs Emma Golding, Mrs Mary J. Patenaude, Mrs Ida Hoar, Mrs Annie Brown, Mrs Alice McDonald, all of Providence, and James H. Williams of Hughesdale. There are (16?) grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
Mr Williams lived for a time at Plainville, Mass., and Cranston, where his wife died. He lived with his daughter, Mrs. Brown, until two years ago.
