GILBERT G. WILLIAMS was born in Muskingum county, Ohio, in January, 1855. His father, George M. Williams, was a native of Virginia, and a farmer, who moved to Ohio at an early day. In 1863 he came further west, and located in Adams county, Iowa, where he is still living. Mr. Williams, whose name heads this sketch, was reared to farm life. At the age of twenty-to years he struck out in the world for himself, first taking a clerkship in a store in Corning, in which he continues until he was elected, on the Democratic ticket, to his present position of Clerk of the District Court, in the fall of 1890.

On July 4, 1877, he married Miss Frances A. Taylor. Of their four children three are living, namely: Maud, Howard and Walter. Mabel died at the age of eighteen months. Mr. Williams is a member of Nodaway Lodge, No. 206, I. O. O. F., and politically he is a straight Democrat.
