A J Williams
family - July 1919 at the family home. It sat on top of a
hill overlooking the present FM728. It has
been gone for many years - the only fragment remaining is
a cistern. All members of the family are in the photo
except for four. The youngest person in the photo is
the little boy on the front row. He was Charles Jackson
Law - almost three years old when the photo was
taken. He was the last remaining grandchild - he
died in 2010 at the age of 93. My grandfather is
the tall man near the right end of the back row. My
mom is in the back row just to the right of the
window. She was 18 at the time, but looks much
older. The three that are buried in the Adventist
Cemetery are Walter (tall man, back row near the left
end) Clara Law in front of the window and Cora Powell
directly in front of Walter.
