From his earliest years at Douglas Park, Father Williams won the admiration of his fellow-students by his intellectual qualities, and their love by his solid virtue and his bright and amiable disposition. His deep piety, his keen wit and unusual literary ability promised great things, but unfortunately, for several years his priestly apostolate was overshadowed by sickness. After a long illness, he was called to his eternal reward at the age of 41 years on Monday, 12th inst.—R.I.P.
