Daughter Osceola "Osie" Williams (1879-1956) was born on Aug. 21, 1879. 

Osie married Walter Williams (1875- ? ) of Ohio, who was not related and whose parents were emigrants from England.

They produced two sons -- Ralph Williams Sr. and Paul M. Williams.

The family established their home in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, OH in the era 1905 through the 1940s.

When the federal census was enumerated in 1920, their home was at 9210 Birchdale Avenue in Cleveland, with Walter working as the owner of a meat market. That year, their 35-year-old unmarried nephew Bearl Williams lived under their roof.

They remained on Birchdale during the decades of the 1920s and '30s as shown on the 1930 and 1940 censuses. By 1930, Walter was employed as a "city salesman" in Cleveland dealing in fruit, and in 1940, he worked as a landscaper and guard at the "Cooley Farm" in Cleveland. During those years, their nephew Bearl remained in their household, working as an armature winder in a steel mill.

The Grim Reaper of death visited the family in the early summer of 1941. Walter, who had suffered from chronic cardiac disease, was at work when he was felled by a heart attack at the age of 65, in Warrensville, Cuyahoga County. He was placed into eternal repose in a cemetery in Tallmadge, Summit County, OH. Son Paul signed his official certificate of death. 

As a widow, Osie survived for another 15 years. In 1952, her residence was in Huntington, Long Island, NY and later in the 1950s in Middletown, NJ, living near her son Ralph Jr.

Osie enjoyed returning to Uniontown and was a "frequent guest of Uniontown friends," reported the Uniontown Morning Herald. She is known to have attended a Williams family reunion in Uniontown in September 1940. In fact, during the last summer of her life (1956), she visited the city once more.

Osie died on Sept. 18, 1956, at the age of 83, in Middletown, NJ. Her remains were transported to Tallmadge, OH for interment beside her husband in the family plot of graves, said the Morning Herald.

Son Ralph Williams Sr. (1905- ? ) was born in about 1905 in Cleveland. He married "Andy" (?) and had two sons, one of whom was Ralph Williams Jr., born in 1930. On the back of the snapshot photograph here, Andy wrote that the image was taken on July 1, 1934 and that it was the boys' "first romper." They lived in Middletown, NJ in 1956. Nothing more about this family is known.

Son Paul M. Williams (1910- ? ) was born in about 1910 in Cleveland. He lived at 848 Beverly Road in 1941 and resided in 1956 in Racine, WI.

Son James "Arthur" Williams (1882-1960) was born on Jan. 10, 1882. 

At the age of 21, on Aug. 5, 1903, he wed 17-year-old Mary C. Coughanour (1886- ? ), daughter of John W. and Annie L. Coughanour. At the time of marriage, he was employed as an engineer and she as a milliner. E. Judson Headley officiated at their wedding.

Arthur and Mary had five children -- Raymond Williams, Dorothy Margery Hoone, Virginia Wilson, Ocie Morris and Arabelle Stahl. 

Arthur apparently later married Julia (Marker) Rockwell (1882-1962), daughter of Ellis B. and Mary Ann (Bivins) Marker of Bethelboro, PA. She had been married once before, and brought five children to the second marriage including Azalea Raymond, Hunter H. Rockwell, Clarence Rockwell, Robert Rockwell and Mary Martin.

They made their home in Uniontown, at 194 Downer Avenue. Arthur was a longtime employee of the H.C. Frick Coke Company, and retired from the company.

Arthur was the keeper of family history knowledge. At one point he wrote to his sister Lulu spelling out details of who was who in their lineage. Among the names: "Mrs. Collins, Aunt Alice's daughter, who lives on John St.; Mrs. Mitchell at Brownfield where Aunt Alice stays - Aunt Alice said her mother's name was Syvilla (Younkin maiden name) Rush - G'father's name John K. Rush. Yell Mitts now Yell Yowler. Her G.mother's name was Rebecca (Kildown) Williams - G.father James H. Williams."

In retirement, he belonged to the Golden Age Club. Julia was a Past Noble Grand of the Rebekah Lodge of the Odd Fellows and a member of the Asbury Methodist Church.

Arthur and his siblings Ina and Ewing attended the funeral of their sister Osie Williams in Alliance, OH in 1956. In the return drive home, they conversed about their fates in life. As sister Ina recalled later: "I said well this just now leaves just the three of us and I said so now Artie it leaves you and I running the race, Artie said just don't you run to fast -- I sure would hate to have him go before me, he and I had become pretty close to one another."

During his final years, Arthur went to live in the Cecelia Cribbs Nursing Home in Black Lick, Burrell Township, Indiana County, PA. For the last six months of life, he was bedridden with severe arthritis.

Stricken with a pulmonary embolism, Arthur died on Dec. 12, 1960, at the age of 78. In an obituary, the Uniontown Morning Herald reported that he was survived by 12 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. His remains were returned to Uniontown for interment in Oak Grove Cemetery, following a funeral led by Rev. Dr. Earl F. Confer and Rev. J. Sheldon Spangler.

Julia joined her husband in death two years later, on Oct. 10, 1962. Her son Hunter Rockwell of Uniontown was the informant for her death certificate. She was laid to rest in Sylvan Heights Cemetery in Uniontown. The Morning Herald carried a death notice.

Son Arthur "Raymond" Williams (1921-1972) was born in about 1921 in Uniontown. He married Mildred Jubin ( ? - ? ) and lived on Barton Mill Road in Uniontown. They had four children, among them Dale Williams, James G. Williams, Marjorie Duranko and Leslie Keller. The family were members of the Central Christian Church. Raymond died at the age of 61, in Uniontown Hospital, on Feb. 5, 1972. An obituary in the Uniontown Morning Herald said that his survivors included nine grandchildren.

Hoone of Smithfield, Fayette County. Although they lived in Uniontown at the time of marriage, they drove to New Brighton, Beaver County PA so that the nuptials could be performed by their former pastor, Rev. G.M. Riley. They immediately established a home in Greensburg, Westmoreland County, PA. By 1975, she lived in Greensboro, Greene County, PA. That year, she hosted an annual Williams-Coughenour family reunion, held at Mon View Park in Greensboro. Many of her nephews and nieces attended, with the event receiving coverage in the Uniontown Morning Herald (Aug. 13, 1975). Sadly, Joseph died in February 1980 at the age of 75.

On Sept. 11, 1907, at the age of 23, she married 26-year-old Clarence H. Christner (1881- ? ), the son of Amos and Samantha Christner of Uniontown. E. Judson Headley performed the nuptials in Uniontown. 

They had one daughter, Dorothy Jean Lawrence. 

Born in Westmoreland County, PA, Clarence was employed as an electrical engineer at the time of marriage. Initially, the couple lived on Coolspring Street in Uniontown. In 1914, they made their home in Charleroi, Washington County, PA. The federal census of 1920 shows the family on South Avenue in Wilkinsburg, Allegheny County, with Clarence employed as an electrician with a railroad. 

Clarence's fate is not known.

Later, possibly separated from her husband, she relocated to 505 Third Street in Beaver, Beaver County, PA and was there in 1934 when she announced the upcoming wedding of her daughter. Circa 1952, her home was in Vanport, Beaver County. 

For Halloween 1942, Ina helped her married daughter Dorothy host a party for Dorothy's daughter Mildred, and the Beaver Daily Times noted that "The early part of the evening was spent playing games and 'bobbing' for apples. The home was suitably decorated with corn stalks, pumpkins, and colored leaves." 

Ina's address in 1958 was 202 North Walnut Street in New Castle, Lawrence County, PA. That year, on July 17, 1958, she wrote to her niece Blanche Barnes and said: 

I will write you again and perhaps the last time, especially from N. Castle, as we expect to leave this burg some day next week. We are going to strike out for Florida., no doubt never to return (especially me) one never knows - Mildred Lee thinks there is a furnished apt. she can get for us.... Mildred Lee wants us down there and we are home sick to see her. She seems to love it there but as for me I am not to keen on going so far from all my old friends and speaking of old you know I am not as young as I used to be.

Ina and Mildred Lee landed in Fort Lauderdale, and lived there for a time before returning to Beaver County. They then rented an apartment in New Brighton but were left homeless when it burned. They found a new home in Beaver Falls. In August 1960, Ina came to Uniontown to visit her widowed sister in law Julia Williams. A party was thrown in her honor, and included guests Ina Williams Johnson, Mrs. J.C. Wilson, Edna and Clara Collins, and Belle and Harriet Inks, with the news printed in the society column of the Uniontown Morning Herald. She returned again in 1963 for a visit with Florence Wilson on Uniontown's Collins Avenue. 

While crossing the street in New Brighton one day, she fell and broke her hip. Unable to recover, she died at the age of 81 on Sept. 6, 1965 in Beaver Valley Hospital in New Brighton. Funeral services were held in New Brighton, and a short obituary was printed in the Morning Herald. Her remains were placed at rest in an unmarked grave in Sylvania Hills Cemetery.

They made their residence on Grant Street and later at 75 Murray Avenue in Uniontown.

In the late summer of 1923, John and Mary and family took a driving trip to Cleveland to visit his sister Osie Williams, a gossip tidbit reported in the Uniontown Morning Herald. While on the excursion they also made stops in Buffalo and Niagara Falls, NY. 

In October 1952, he is believed to have traveled with his son Jack to Hollywood, CA to visit his son Robert Williams and to attend the Teamsters Union convention. Tragically, son Robert died in Los Angeles just three months later, in January 1953.

He married Sarah Smiley (1886-1936) on April 28, 1909, when he was 21 years of age and she 23. She was the daughter of Lot and Susan (Campbell) Smiley.

They had four known children -- Nellie Uhlman Bower, Marjorie Jones Nosidlak, Ina Dawson and Harold Williams. 

The Williamses lived in Uniontown before relocating by 1920 to Charleroi, Fallowfield Township, Washington County, PA. Charles was a telephone lineman and electrician and was employed for 37 years by West Penn Power Company, as was his ill-fated brother in law, Milton Melvin Haney. When the federal census was enumerated in 1930, the family lived on Washington Avenue in Charleroi, with their newlywed daughter and son in law under their roof.

Unbeknownst to the Williamses, a distant cousin and family historian also made his home in Charleroi at the time, Charles Arthur Younkin. From 1934 to 1941, he helped organize the Younkin National Home-coming Reunion in Somerset County and published eight issues of the Younkin Family News Bulletin newspaper.

Tragedy befell the family on June 15, 1936. While in the basement of their home, washing clothes, Sarah was terribly scalded "when a boiler of hot water tilted and spilled over her," reported the Charleroi Mail. Determined to stay at home to nurse her injury, Sarah was treated by local physicians for several months. But in early September, complications set in, and she was admitted to St. Francis Hospital in Pittsburgh for more specialized care.

While an in-patient in St. Francis, the 50-year-old Sarah took a turn for the worse. She died suddenly of acute respiratory failure on Oct. 14, 1936, four months after her injury. Her remains were returned to Charleroi for Interment was in Maple Creek Cemetery. Said the Mail, "Her death was unexpected and was a shock to relatives and the entire neighborhood."

Daughter Nellie Williams (1910- ? ) was born in about 1910. She was close with her cousins and enjoyed having fun during their visits for a few weeks at a time. Late in life she fondly recalled the times when she spent several weeks at the home of her aunt Lulu Barnes Johnston. At the age of 20, on March 12, 1930, in Pittsburgh, Nellie wed Fred P. Uhlman Sr. (1909-1981), son of John and Annie (Patterson) Uhlman. They had one known son, Fred B.

In 1976, writing to her cousin Janet (Barnes) Felo to offer condolences on the death of Janet's mother, she wrote: "Be thankful to God that she is with him rather than suffering on this old wicked earth." Her ex-husband married Loma D. McCusker and died in Washington, PA on April 10, 1981, with burial in Monongahela Cemetery.

A front-page article in the Uniontown Evening Standard reported that his daughter learned of the death when in Miami with her husband Jack Cassidy, who had just "opened with a hotel night club act." Interment was in West Newton Cemetery. In 1952, Marjorie received word through the rumor mill that her aunt Lulu Johnston had died. She sent a sharp note to her cousin Blanche Barnes, Lulu's daughter, expressing her displeasure that she had not been informed directly about the death of "an aunt as close as your mother was to us...." After Paul's death, Marjorie moved to Pittsburgh. She later married her second husband, Edwin Nosidlak (1911-1977), son of Polish immigrants Valentine and Aniela Nosidlak of Pittsburgh.
