The accident to the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Williams  (Carl Haskins Williams) noted last week, terminated fatally on  Friday. On Thursday he was not so well and was taken to Culver  Hospital. On Friday afternoon the attending physician went in to  see him and found him so much worse that he went to the telephone  to call the parents. When he returned the child was dead. Funeral  services were held on Sunday afternoon at the home of Mr. &  Mrs. Winter Fullenwider, Rev. JT Boyer being in charge. The body  was laid to rest in a bed of flowers in the Presbyterian  Cemetery. The following obituary was read by Mrs. Corta Dooley.  On June 14, 1920, Grant and Ida Williams brought into their home  from the Glenn home at Terre Haute a bright-eyed little boy named  Carl Haskins. While living at Washington, Indiana, they adopted  him as their own giving him the name, Carl Haskins Williams on  Sept. 23, 1921. He was of a happy loveable nature kind and  generous to his play mates and brought much happiness into the  home of his foster parents. They loved and cared for him as their  own and their hearts are sorely grieved at his being so sudenly  taken from their care. But short as was his stay they are  comforted with knowing that they have cared for and loved one of  Gods little children, bereft of home and mother. Surely they  shall have their reward. Carl was b. Feb 25, 1915. Died June 9,  1922, age 7 years, 3 months and 14 days. Though their home is  made desolate and their hearts are breaking, they realize little  one is now "Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on his gentle  breast." - transcribed by kbz
