    Notes:

    Williams tombstone reads born 20 July, 1856 but family bible records show him
    born 2 July, 1856. It is most likely that the Bible record is correct.
    He is buried at the old pioneer graveyard, Orrs Chapel Cem., which is located
    in a remote area between Telephone, Tx. and Monkstown, Tx. in Fannin Co.

    Fannin Co., newpaper: Honey Grove Signal 20 June, 1913

    Monkstown was the scene of an ugly and serious difficulty last Sunday.
    For some time bad blood had existed between the Prater brothers and Buck
    Brown, young men of that community, the strained relationship growing out
    of the previous arrests and court testimony.
    Sunday the men met in Monkstown and had a bad fight. Buck Brown was seriously
    cut by one of the Prater boys, and the first news of the tragedy said he could
    not recover. He is still alive, however, and we hear he has a chance for
    recovery. According to our informant the Praters had Brown down and one of
    them was knifing him when Mr. Dooley, who desired to stop the finght, knocked
    one of the Praters off of Brown with a club.
    When Prater arose, he drew his pistol and shot, but the bullet went wide of
    its mark.

    Notes:

    Williams or Willie as he was called had to take the responsibility of helping
    care of his family (mother,3 brothers, and sister) when his father died.
    Willie was only a boy of 13 or 14 at the time. Sometime later his mother
    remarried to a Mr. Jones. When Willie married his brothers Bertie and Alvie
    lived with him while his other brother and sister stayed with their mother.
    (Mr. Jones is buried near the Praytors at Orrs Chapel Cem. near Telephone,
    Fannin Co., Tx.)
    This is a story told by Betty Jo, one of his children:

    We lived in Telephone, Tx. and all 8 children were born there.
    When Billy and I were 4 yrs. old we moved to Oklahoma, near Boehler.
    We crossed the Red River on the Ferry Boat run on a cable.
    My dad didn't have much use for Indians, mon said thats the reason she wore
    bonnets and bleach cream to keep her complexion light.
    Dad served as a member of the Shool Board for serveral years at Atoka, Okla.
    and was burned very badly in an accident.
    One night he had just renewed a contract with a teacher when they heard that
    Pearl Harbor had just been attacked. The teacher left and ran out of gas a
    short distance from the house, he returned to get dad to take him to get gas.
    Dad had just filled up his new truck and said he would take him back to his
    car and they could just cypher some out. They used a kerosene lantern to see
    while they were doing this and the gas exploded and burned Mr.Neil, the
    teacher and dad very badly. Mr. Neil took pneumonia and died, dad was put in a
    death cell to die at the Durant Hospital, he lay uncousnious for 3 weeks,
    finally they shipped him to Okal. City to the University Burn Center. He was
    there for over 2 months. He had skin grafts all over his left side and lost
    one ear. Dad said "I will never go to hell because I've done been there.
    Mother stayed by his bedside until she fell one day after she saw he was going
    to live, I guess when she relaxed from the idea that dad was going to make it,
    she just collasped.
    Mon raised us in church, the nearest church was Assembly of God, which was 3
    miles from our house. I am a christian, we go to Life Christian Center.
    After the disaster of the burns dad got, he took the Custodian and Jailers job
    at Atoka, Okla.
    Our parents told us many ghost stories, not to my remberance much of our
    ancestors. Dad said the moved to Texas from Louisiana somewhere, that was
    about it.
