Tombstone Tuesday – Jean (1924-1968) and Ralph Scott Williams Jr. (1922-1967)
Ralph Scott “Button” Williams Jr., my grandfather, was born 1/24/1922 in Lancaster, Ohio. He died 6/20/1967 from cardiac arrest at the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville, Virginia. Ralph was 45 years-old at the time of his death.
Madrith Jean Williams (Williams), my grandmother, was born 11/5/1924 in Portsmouth, Ohio. She died 10/15/1968 at the age of 43 in Minford, Ohio.
Their gravesite is located in Maple Hill Cemetery in Stoutsville, Ohio. The headstone was recently purchased by their daughters: my mother, Chris, and my aunt, Terry Kaiser. The headstone photo was taken on a recent family research trip to Ohio on 7/29/2010. Many thanks to my cousin, Jane Mason, for the portrait of my grandparents.

A very nice photo of the couple. It is sad that they both died so young.
I echo Theresa’s comment – they’re a handsome couple and how sad that they both died young.
