Among the earliest of Loup county's pioneers was Mr. T.W. Williams, who like some others, had come a long way to find his present home.  He was born in Wales, February 7, 1841.  When but a lad of 13 years, he came to the old historic Schuykill county, Pennsylvania.  Here he grew to manhood and, on March 29, 1862, he married Miss Mary Lewis of Pottsville, Penn.  In the summer of 1865 they came to Missouri and for nine years lived in Mason county.  They then came to York county.  The following year they went to Hamilton county, arriving in Loup county in 1876.  Here they homesteaded their present farm.  They have had thirteen children, seven of which are now living.
