______________________

National Intelligencer, August 10, 1841
OBIT: Williams. In this city, yesterday, after a short illness, Mr. John Williams, in the forty-fourth year of his age. Few men have lived and died in this community more universally and deservedly respected. In boyhood, and youth, and manhood, living and dying he has enjoyed the confidence and affectionate regard of all who have ever become acquainted with him. Could sympathy and tears and prayers have kept him in our midst, he had not fallen. We desire to bow submissively to the blow which crushes and overwhelms our spirits. God's will be done.
