The entire obituary of the Rev. JOHN WILLIAMS (from page 68)
Rev. JOHN WILLIAMS, A. M., of the Memphis Conference, M. E. Church, South, died at his home in Brownsville, Tenn., February 19, 1891. He was born May 10, 1831 in Elizabeth City, N.C., where he was reared to manhood. He professed religion and joined the Methodist Church in his youth. He competed his education at Randolph-Macon College in 1852, receiving the degree of A. M. He delivered the salutary of this his graduation year, and Dr. Samuel Lander, one of his class, the valedictory. He returned home and took up the study of law. In 1856 he was admitted to the bar in Elizabeth City, where he practiced with fair prospects until he was arrested by a deep conviction that his duty lay in another direction. Surrendering this profession, he accepted a professorship in Murfreesboro College, where he filled variously the chairs of Mathematics and Languages until the operations of that institution were closed by the late war between the States. He was married to Miss Kate Pugh, of Bertie County, N.C., in the Methodist Church at Windsor, December 21, 1859, by Rev. C. B. Riddick. He was licensed to preach by the Murfreesboro Quarterly Conference September 19, 1864. He moved to West Tennessee in September 1867, and settled in Brownsville. He was ordained deacon by Bishop McTyeire November 29, 1868, at Paris, Tenn., and elder by Bishop Wightman November 24, 1872, at Somerville, Tenn. He was admitted on trial into the traveling connection in 1877 at Brownsville, and into full connection in 1880 at Trenton, Tenn. He founded the Wesleyan Female College of Brownsville, Tenn., of which institution he was the honored and successful head for more than twenty years. His health began to fail in 1889, and at the close of the session of 1890 he surrendered the presidency of the institution, and at the following session of the Annual Conference was given a supernumerary relation. Brother Williams was not a man of robust physical constitution, but possessed a strong, clear intellect, and was a man of strong will. He was a close student, and so was a man of learning and fine information. The two features most prominent in his character were earnestness and purity. He was persevering both in his occupation and his calling. Training the girls intrusted to his care was with him a matter of conscience. His motto was "thorough work," and it is admitted by all that he accomplished what he aimed at. He often said with evident delight: " Of more than seventy young ladies who have received the honors of the institution, no one has proven a failure, but every one has succeeded in whatever relation she has occupied." He loved his calling. He kept up constant preparation; he studied to show himself approved of God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, always ready to preach when opportunity afforded, and always instructing and edifying his hearers. He was a faithful son of the Methodist Church, and of the gospel according to her idea. He aimed at the highest cultivation of heart in himself and others. His dignity arose in revolt at any such thing as corrupt or coarse thought; while he ever followed after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. To him fidelity to Christ was every thing, was paramount. Having a keen sense of religious obligation, and of the duty and power of a right life, he ever stressed this in public prayer and discourse, striving daily to be an example to the believers in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity; and before the world to show forth the praises of Him who hath called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. He was a man of cheerful mien. His Cheery converse and countenance were like a refreshing ointment wherever he went, and at home they were the light and gladness of his household. His fatal sickness was bronchitis. With this he suffered long, but patiently and submissively, receiving all the kind ministrations that could be bestowed by a loving Christian wife and devoted children. On the morning of February 19 he arose and dressed himself as usual. On being asked what he would have for his breakfast, he replied that he did not want any thing, that he had no appetite. When he tasted some little delicacy which his wife had prepared and brought to him, he was observed to shrug, shudder, and turn pale, and immediately he passed away without a word or a struggle. Thus ended an earth life beautiful for truth, fidelity, charity, purity. Since then the home has been painfully vacant to the stricken widow and seven bereaved children, and the whole circle of society has looked like a wheel from which a segment has been stricken. On the morning of the 21st, after funeral services had been conducted by the pastor of the family (Rev J. G. Clark), in the presence of a large concourse of sympathizing friends, his body was laid away in Oakwood Cemetery, while his spirit had gone to know the deeper significance of what the evangelist was commanded to write: "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them."
