In Response To: Death date/location (Eva Williams)

Before I attempted to locate information for you to find out what happened to Rev. Trevor Williams' son, William T. Williams, I assumed you knew very little about him. After locating quite a bit of information, it was apparent [especially from his son's obituary] that you probably have most of this already and are just lacking what eventually happened to William T. Williams after he and his wife Ethel most likely divorced in the early 1960's in Indiana. He is not in the same cemetery as she is [Sunset Hill Cemetery, Rockport, Indiana].

He was alive in 1958 [when his father died] and deceased by 1974 [from his sister Mary's obituary I located in Seattle]; I suggest you check Illinois and Indiana death indices. He probably died before collecting Social Security so that database probably won't help. He also could have remarried. The divorce record could have clues especially if he paid alimony to Ethel.

Here is what I found for you. Sorry I don't have time to look in the 1958 - 1974 time frame.
