Obituary: Dr. A.W. Fesmire was born in 1845 and fell asleep in the arms of Jesus January 25, 1902. He was happily married to Jane Cunningham in 1867 with whom he lived a happy life until death. He professed a hope in Christ at the age of 23 or 24, and soon joined the Methodist Church and was a consistent member until death. We feel that the loss of Dr. Fesmire is one of the greatest our county has ever experienced. He was one of the leading men of his profession and did more than any other, perhaps, for suffering humanity than any other man in our county. He was always ready to go through heat or cold, sleet or rain to administer to the suffering of his fellow man and was ever kind and pleasant to him. We wish to say to his family and his dear brother, Uncle Johnnie, and stepmother, Aunt Jane, brothers and sisters to weep not as those who have no hope. In 1867 when Abraham Washington was 20, he married Mary Jane CUNNINGHAM, daughter of Jess CUNNINGHAM & Sallie HAMLETT. Born on 9 Oct 1850 in Henderson County, Tennessee. At the age of 69, Mary Jane died in Henderson County, Tennessee on 19 Dec 1919. Buried in 1919 in Antioch Cemetery, Lexington, Henderson County, Tennessee.

69. Martha Ann FESMIRE. Born on 19 May 1850 in Henderson County, Tennessee. At the age of 95, Martha Ann died in 1946. Resided in McLemoresville, Carroll County, Tennessee in 1938. Resided in McLemoresville, Carroll County, Tennessee in 1945. Martha and Hartwell moved to McLemoresville, Carroll County, Tennessee in 1895. On 9 Jan 1871 when Martha Ann was 20, she married Hartwell Taylor WILLIAMS, son of Poe Alexander WILLIAMS & Deborah GILMORE. Born on 7 Dec 1847 in Henderson County, Tennessee. At the age of 96, Hartwell Taylor died in McLemoresville, Carroll County, Tennessee in Dec 1944. Buried in Dec 1944 in McLemoresville Cemetery, McLemoresville, Carroll County, Tennessee.

Obituary: Former Henderson Countian Dies in Carroll: Henry Taylor Williams, who would have celebrated his 97th birthday Thursday, last week, died at his home in McLemoresville Wednesday morning after an illness of eight months. He was born December 7th, 1847. He married Martha Ann Fesmire 73 years ago, and she at the age of 94 has been able to wait on her husband during his recent illness. She survives as do the following children: J. Wesley, Huntingdon; Oliver M., McLemoresville; Eugene A. and Sam C. of Jackson; Harry T. of McLemoresville, and Mrs. S.M. Watson of Morris Chapel. He is survived by a large number of grandchildren, including J. Wesley Williams, Jr., Billy O. Williams and Leo Watson, who are serving in the armed forces. Mr. Williams moved to Carroll County more than fifty years ago and engaged in farming. He was a member of the Methodist Church and had been a Master Mason for 76 years. He was always active and interested in civic affairs and made effort to see that his children were educated. He believed that every citizen should vote and he himself voted for every Republican candidate President since and including Grant. On November 7th, of this year, the election officials of the 5th District went to his bedside and permitted him to vote for Governor Dewey. Mr. Williams had always been a close student of history and a keen analyst of current affairs. Just a few weeks ago, I stopped by and was amazed at how keenly and clearly his mind worked. He went into detail about the incidents relating to the Battle of Parker's Crossroads which he recalled, telling me where he was at whom he saw at the time. Rev. Warner Pafford conducted the funeral services at McLemoresville Methodist Church assisted by two of the deceased's grandsons, Rev. Roy Williams of Paducah, Kentucky, and Rev. Harry Williams of Bardwell, Kentucky. Burial was made in the McLemoresville Cemetery. -- Harry Williamson, Carroll County Democrat They had the following children:
