In addition to Andrew and Arah Williams, some of their children are buried in the Adventist Cemetery at Berea. These include son Walter Williams (1873 – 1955), and daughters Cora Williams Powell (1884 – 1966) and Clara Williams Law (1888 – 1974). All three lived in Berea for many years.

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.
