MY (SYLVIA PAYNE WILLIAMS) FATHER WAS A HARD WORKING FARMER. WHEN HE WAS
RAISING THE FAMILY (FOUR BOYS AND FIVE GIRLS) HE DID THE FARMING WITH
HORSES. AFTER WALKING BEHIND THE PLOW OR LISTER FOR SEVERAL HOURS, WHICH
WAS TIRING WORK, HE ALWAYS TOOK TIME TO PLAY WITH THE CHILDREN, HE LOVED
TO PLAY THE VIOLIN FOR THEM. HE ALSO PLAYED THE VIOLIN FOR DANCES.
FATHER ALSO WENT INTO THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS IN CULBERTSON, NE. BEFORE
RETIRING.
I (NEIL) REMEMBER GRANDFATHER WILLIAM PLAYING THE VIOLIN IN 1950 WHEN I
VISITED HIM IN HIS HOME IN CALIFORNIA. HE WAS BLIND AT THE TIME BUT HE
REALLY ENJOYED PLAYING.
William married Mary Elizabeth Gleason on 26 Aug 1888 in Trenton, Hitchcock County, NE. Mary (daughter of John S. Gleason and Nancy Ann Leeper) was born on 30 Jul 1870 in Munden, Republic County, KS; died on 20 Jan 1914 in Guide Rock, Webster County, NE; was buried in Guide Rock, Webster County, NE.

MY (SYLVIA PAYNE WILLIAM'S) MOTHER, MARY ELIZABETH (EVERYONE CALLED HER
LIBBY) WAS SUCH A GOOD MOTHER. I WAS ONLY NINE YEARS OLD WHEN SHE PASSED
AWAY, BUT I CAN REMEMBER THE GOOD THINGS SHE DID FOR ALL OF US----LIKE
COOKING, SEWING, CANNING AND KEEPING US ALL IN SCHOOL.
SHE WAS SUCH A GOOD CHRISTIAN MOTHER.
