DOCTOR WILLIAMS COLLECTION

Mr. Williams said his father had a collection of guns and pistols. That the dragon pistol with which he had unintentionally scared the drummer sitting on the hotel veranda at Grandma Pierson’s was one of them. His father also had fine bound books, classics. That all these things were lost probably at the old Pierson Hotel when they moved.

(Uncle Sid P. Ross told me the other day the next day, that his father also had had a collection of guns, including a pair of dueling pistols, which were also lost).
