Davis Williams 1838-1912

Found this postcard in a box of two ledgers from the late 1877-1878.  These ledgers appears to be from the Williams’ family (Russell’s mother’s family).  They include several pages with long lists of expenses and receipts.  Cool handwriting and payees (Buckwalter, Sarah Willaims, Pennypacker, etc).

 

The postcard is dated May 27, 1908 and is from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Pensions.  Davis served in the Civil War with his brothers. He was a farmer and he died in 1912.
