| 1512 | came to Tx from Dothan,Houston,Al. Moved to Guadalupe, maybe Bell Co., Falls Co. & then Henderson Co., Tx. It was said the ancestors of Thomas Elrige Williams originally came from England. They were carpenters, ship-builders and musicians. Supposedly they came to the U.S., aboard a ship built by them. He owned a store in Luverne, Crenshaw Co., Al. He was a Methodist minister. (The previous statements were made to Alfred Williams by Martha E. DeLoach Williams. She lived with the family of Lonnie J. (Pat) Williams. Thomas Elrige was born in Fl., then moved to Al. In Crenshaw Co. In 1872 a marriage was performed by him, or his father, for Mary Olive DeLoach and John Highsmith. This Williams family came to Guadalupe Co. in 1895, according to Boonie Williams Estes. Willie Sims said they came to Bell County in Texas in 1894. Lonnie J. always said they came to Texas when he was 4, that would have been 1893 or 1894. They were there in 1900 census. In 1902 they bought a farm in the Willow Springs Community from the Sheltons. I have been told Thomas Elrige ran a grocery store there until buying the farm at Willow Springs in 1902 from the Shelton's. Also have been told he was pastor of a Methodist church in the vicinity of Don Norman's Welding Shop & First Nat'l drive-in Bank. On 1910 census Thomas E., Martha, Lonnie J & Leona, along with Mellie Willis, Allie, Alma, & Earl Byron, were living on W. Corsicana St. in Athens, Texas. I do wonder if this isn't the time he owned the store. I have a book for 1910 that has charge accounts in it for such things as seed, mules, wagons, etc. LaVerne (Mutt) Williams Rodgers | Williams, Thomas Elrige (I22238)

| 1548 | Carolyn Sue Lewis, age 81, of the Vale community, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, Jan. 19, 2019. A native of Welch, W. Va., she was a daughter of the late Dennis and Edna Benfield, and wife of the late Stuard Lewis. She was also preceded in death by a brother: Chester Benfield. Sue was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Newland who loved to read and adored her children. Her family was of great importance to her. In Sue's own words: "I was born a coal-miner's daughter in a cabin on a hill in West Virginia to Edna Napier Benfield and Dennis Victory Benfield on Dec. 25, 1937. My mom delivered me at home with my dad administering the "ether" dropped on a cloth on her face. My grandmother Napier was also there. I believe my parents liked their Christmas "present!" We lived in West Virginia (Welch) until 1940 and by that time I had a baby brother, Chester Morris Benfield. After he was born, they decided to call it "quits" — wonder why? Ha.. My father's mother told my dad if you marry up there "keep her up there." So, they started married life in West Virginia! Not long afterward, Dart Benfield, (Paw's Brother) got his back broke and died in the mines! Boy, then my maw was ready for dad to come home, which we did in 1940 and I'm eternally thankful. (I didn't like West Virginia)." Left to cherish her memories are her Children: Kaye Baker and husband, Tommy, of Winder, Ga., Rick Lewis of Newland, Dennis Lewis and wife, Jan, of Elk Park, Gil Lewis and Sunni Buchanan, of Roan Mountain, Tenn. and Lori Lewis of Asheville; Grandchildren: Heather Lewis (Aaron Messer), April Ritchey (Chris), Layce Lewis and Matt Lewis (Laura); Great-grandchildren: Grayson and Lincoln Ritchey, Cade Palmer and Baker Clark, Lyndie Lewis and one on the way; and Sister-in-Law: Elaine Benfield.
