Leslie E. Williams died Saturday morning at the home of his mother in Petrolia, TX, his remains being shipped to Spur for burial. Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at three o'clock in the home of Mrs. P.C. Ellis, interment following at the Spur cemetery.Leslie E. Williams formerly lived in Spur, and in its earlier days was married here to Miss Lula Ellis. The Great White Plague came to him and after leaving Spur he moved from place to place in an effort to check its ravages. For three weeks before death he was confined to his bed at the home of his mother at Petrolia where Saturday morning he gave up the fight and crossed the Great Divide.
Leslie Williams was a close personal friend of ours. He was a good citizen, a clean man, and but for health affliction would have developed into a great usefulness to the world.
