work and confined himself to the statistical work of the Lake Carriers’ Asso- 
ciation, to the preparation of The Bulletin, and to the working out of details 
in connection with the schools of the Association. 
Mr. Williams gave years of thought to the Great Lakes trade and his 
book, “The Hon. Peter White,” was the crowning effort of a life which he 
largely gave to a subject he loved. He had a wonderful and invaluable fund 
of knowledge regarding lake traffic, shipbuilding, the production and history 
of ore, coal and other commodities. His loyalty and integrity were outstand- 
ing attributes and his gentleness endeared him to his friends. He died on 
August 16, 1916.
