MONROE
 
--Alexander WILLIAMS died very suddenly at his home in West Henrietta, Friday morning, of heart disease. Mr. WILLIAMS was in his 83d year. No man was more thoroughly known all through this county and in Rochester. Over sixty years ago he commenced business in West Henrietta as a wagon maker, and the business has been kept up ever since. WILLIAMS wagons were known far and wide. He was for a long time president of the Rochester, Brighton and Henrietta Plank Road company. His brother Joseph, who was early associated with him in the wagon manufactory, and also a pioneer of the town, died only last March. The village owes much of its prosperity to these two men. Mr. WILLIAMS leaves a wife and a large family of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
