Williams Family Picture

Although it’s damaged, I really like this picture of my mother’s family.  The Williams Family (Left to Right): my mother, Christine Davis (Williams), my grandmother, Madrith Jean Williams (Williams), my aunt, Teresa Lynn Kaiser (Williams), and my grandfather, Ralph Scott Williams Jr.  Picture taken approx. 1955 in Goodlettsville, Tennessee.

Emmit Rowland “E. R.” Gibson, my first cousin three times removed, was born 1/11/1894 in Smith County, Texas. He was KIA in France on 11/2/1918 (nine days before the armistice 11/11/1918) during World War I.  Emmit served as a Private in Company A of the 360th Infantry 90th Division. His gravesite is located at Noonday Cemetery in Noonday, Texas.  Many thanks to Gary Mosley for the pictures and information.

This Omega railroad pocket watch was recently restored and given to me by my mother, Chris Davis. It belonged to my great grandfather, Donald Edwin Williams.  The watch was given to him upon his retirement as a machinist with the Norfolk and Western Railway. He passed away 9/7/1992 in Minford, Scioto County, Ohio. If you have any family treasures you’d like to contribute, please take a picture of the item and email it to me.
