SOME FAMILY HISTORY

Mr. Williams’ father was a doctor, and originally from Georgia. They first came from Falls to Hamilton County in 1868, the year after the school house massacre down on the Leon River when the teacher Anne Whitney was killed by the Indians. His father’s health was not good, there wasn’t much chance to practice here, and they went back in less than a year. The Piersons stayed in this county.

Mr. Williams said he came back here to stay in 1873. His mother had remarried and he did not stay at home much. That "Grandma," Mrs. Nancy Pierson, bought the Griffin Hotel (where the Hamilton Bank and Trust Co. Was) in 1876 and ran it for many years. I can remember here there myself in her old age.
