WALKER WILLIAMS
Death of Walker Williams
Information was received here Tuesday of the sudden death of Mr. Walker Williams, at his home in Montgomery county, Tenn; of apoplexy.
The deceased was one of the most prominent citizens of Clarksville, and his departure will be mourned by a host of friends.
The Nashville American's Clarksville dispatch gives the following particulars: Mr. D. Walker Williams, of Ringold of this county, dropped dead in his garden at 6 o'clock this morning, of heart disease.
The news was quickly dispatched to Mr. M.H. Clark and Parish, Buckner and Co; of Elephant Warehouse, of which firm he was a member.
It was quite a shock to the whole community.
Mr. Williams was a bachelor, about 45 years of age and lived with and cared for his aged mother to whom he was greatly devoted.
He was a handsome man and weighted about 225, and looked the very picture of health. He returned yesterday from a trip to Chicago and spent the day in the city with friends. He was as genial and jovial as usual.
Going home in the afternoon he complained of great trouble in his breast which he called asthma.
After sleeping awhile he appeared better, and arose early and walked out into the garden, going unusually fast. When half way he turned suddenly back, and nearing the gate he reached out as though to raise the latch and fell forward on his face. The servant ran to him instantly, but life was extinct. He was a man of great generosity, genial nature, and lavishing his wealth freely upon every charitable object and upon his friends who are numerous.
