a Presbyterian. He, his wife, and two daughters joined the church in Nashville in 1888, when Dr. John T. Edgar became pastor, and subsequently two daughters and four sons joined the same church. He was for years an elder of the church in Nashville, and an elder of the church in Edgefield at the time of his death, which occurred March 6, 1862, his mind unim- paired and his body not showing old age.


His son, William Williams, graduated at the Nashville University in 1839; taught a male academy three years; graduated at the Louisville Medical College in 1845; settled in Hendersonville, Sumner Co., and married Lizzie B., eldest daughter of Daniel S. Donelson and Margaret Branch, May, 1849. Moving to the old homestead in 1865, he discon- tinued the practice of medicine, and has since devoted his time to the improvement of his farm, to the rearing and edu- cating of his children, to the cause of public schools, and to the Church. The names of their children are Margaret, Mary Eliza, Evander, Sally, William, Emma, and Eula. Maggie Bessie Davis, a bright child two years old, occupies the place in the affections of the members of the family circle made va- cant by the death of her mother. His son, John W. Williams, graduated at the Nashville University in 1841; surveyed land in Texas several years; read law ; married Martha, youngest daughter of Graves Pennington, of Davidson County ; pur- chased a farm in Mississippi Co., Ark His wife dying, he married Anna, eldest daughter of Col. Elliot Fletcher, of Ar- kansas. They have three children,-Susan, Elliot, and Sally.


Mrs. Martha Martin, a sister of Mrs. Williams, is the only unbroken link connecting the family to the past century. She was born in a fort four miles from Nashville, near her present residence, in 1792. She is blessed with good health, a clear mind, a distinct memory, and reads and sews without glasses. Loving and beloved by all who know her, in select words and sweet voice she relates the history of six gener- ations, whom she remembers perfectly. By reading she keeps up with the age. Her Bible and hymn-book are always near her. Her lamp full of oil she keeps trimmed and burning, cheerfully and hopefully watching and waiting the coming of her Lord.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF NASHVILLE.


In the spring of 1852, Alfred Hume, Esq., long an eminent teacher of a select classical school in Nashville, was engaged by the City Council to visit various cities in which the public schools were in operation, to investigate their practical working, and report to the board. Having returned and signified his readiness to make known the re- sult of his inquiries, he was requested to do so in public. Accordingly, on the 26th of August, he appeared before the board and a large concourse of citizens, at Odd-Fellows' Hall, and read a lengthy and masterly report, two thousand copies of which were published. That report may be re- garded as the corner-stone of the system of public schools in this city. In the sume year the lot, one hundred and eighty-five by two hundred and seventy feet, at the corner of Spruce and Broad Streets, was purchased, and proposals received for the erection of a building. On the 19th of


May, 1853, Dr. W. K. Bowling delivered an oration, in the presence of a large audience, at the laying of the corner- stone. The building was completed within the following year, and was called the Hume school, in honor of the dis- tinguished scholar who had taken such an active part in inaugurating the new enterprise. On the 14th of October, 1854, the City Council elected the first Board of Education, the following gentlemen being chosen : F. B. Fogg, Charles Toms, R. J. Meigs, Allen A. Hall, John A. McEwen, and W. F. Bang. They held their first meeting on November 5th, following, and the schools were formally opened to pupils Feb. 26, 1855. Much of the unvarying prosperity of the schools is due to the fact that they have always been con- trolled by boards of active, intelligent, discreet gentlemen, many of them the most distinguished citizens of the place, as will appear from the list of those who, at different times, have served in that capacity. In the year 1856 the lot on the corner of Summer and Line Streets was purchased with proceeds of property donated by Col. Andrew Hynes, and a building erected upon it was called by his name. In the year 1859, M. H. Howard, Esq., gave to the city a fine . lot on College Ilill, on which now stands the school-house named for him.


The Trimble school, at 524 South Market Street, was so called in honor of John Trimble, Esq., who presented the lot on which it stands for school purposes to the then suburb town of South Nashville in the year 1851. During the next year the building was erected and a public school opened. When, in 1855, the corporate limits were ex- tended over this territory, the city Board of Education took charge of the school.


In 1865 a lot was rented at the corner of Madison and North Cherry Streets, and an old army house purchased and removed to it. In 1872 a good lot was purchased at the corner of North High and Jefferson Streets, and during the next year the present Ninth Ward school-house was built upon it.


In 1867 the Belle View building was purchased and converted into a school-house for colored pupils.


On reopening the schools in 1865, the Hume building was found insufficient to accommodate the pupils of that district. The city, therefore, purchased a wooden building which had been built on South Vine Street by the United States authorities as a mess-hall during the war. This house was removed to the Hume lot and fitted up as well as the character of the material would permit, and was used for school purposes until it became untenantable, and in its stead the new brick building which now adorns the lot was erected. It was completed and occupied in Janu- ary, 1875, and is called the Fogg school, in honor of Francis B. Fogg, Esq., the first president of the board.
