unmarked grave , located on a grassy patch near the road, according to a volunteer.

William Williams was born in Calumet, MI to an unwed mother, Amelia Smith, who gave him up for adoption to Mathew (FG # 62786500) and Emma Waters Williams (FG # 200515661) .

DNA triangulation has proven John Shaunce of Dodgeville WI to be the father.

William moved from MI as a young man, married Della Richards in WY, lived in IL, and MO. Returned to MI to bury his father, then lived most of his life in Kansas City, MO. After Della died, he moved to be near his children and grandchildren in Los Angeles, CA.

His daughter is Lillian Marie Williams, who at this time, I cannot locate. Her empty grave is at Brooking Cemetery in Missouri. William's empty grave is also at Brooking, next to his wife Della, who is in the family plot. Since he died in CA, he was buried there instead. His son, Cecil, is buried in CA.

We are not sure if he knew who his birth parents were.
His adopted sister Irene's info is unknown. Please contact me if you know anything about her.
