NOTES:
I have completed a record search on John Harvey J.H. Williams. He was a member of woodmen of the world. His date of birth is March 26,1861 and date of death is May 21,1917. The certificate was issued on July 23, 1912 at the age of 51. His occupation was farmer and he lived in Meridian, Texas at that time. Since the death certificate was paid on this certificate, the application for
membership and the death certificate are no longer a part of our records.
Thank you for your inquiry For information about our fraternal
organization,please access our web site: www.woodmen.com
