wife hod planned to put In wotor
works whon they gathored the
crop th year she died. but she
w11sn't there to enjoy that with
him. so ho never bothered .
Born Februory 15. IUU5.
Williams hos seen a lot of
changes In his day . !lo
remembers when tobacco was
first Introduced to this part of
the country . and farming
practices were a lot different
then than they are today. When
tobacco was first i;-lanted
locnlly . U1ere were 1lot dibeuses
and such to deal with. and It wos
not necessary to even poison tlle
plants. Before tobacco came tu
be planted. farmers planted a
little corn nnd cotton. and that
wus about the extent of their
crops . Ile has turned the
farming operation over to his
son. but continues to work
almost every day helping him in
one wny or another.
.
Ile still gets a lot of pleasure
out of grinding corn for people
with his little electric mill. lie
has no schedule. but grinds
anytime anyone brings corn to
hiln, weekdays or Saturdays.
By grinding in the week. he does
not have such a heavy load on
the weekend. You don't have to
make an appointment to see
him either. as he is always
some where 'arowid the place.'
Ile doesn't grind an awful lot
like he used to do. as his electric
bill. for which he hns a seperate
meter. seldom rwis over $3 a
month . Williams ls not
particular about his pay. either.
lie will take money or will toke
corn In exchange for his
service. just whichever suits his
custo1ncr. He is not doinl! It for
u living. but more a~ an
uccomodnllon.
lie doesn't travel n1uch. lie
goes to ltemingwuy with Kemp
ubout once n week to get u llltle
groceric~ . &amp;lid he h11s11 't been
