ZACK WILLIAMS I have been a long time in writing the Resolution of Respect for my beloved Daddy, Brother Zack Williams. This man served me not only as my daddy, but as my Brethren in the church and my constant guide and advisor. Daddy sat in the seat directly in front of me and I had only to reach out to lay my hand on his shoulder. The vacant place in Mt. Zion Church and the one in my heart is so vast, words cannot express it. Only God knows how bad I hurt and ache for his touch or the sound of his voice. But God is ever by my side giving me the strength to do always what I know I must do. Daddy always taught me that no matter what was happening when the first Sunday in the month arrived to lay aside what I was doing and go to church, where a member's first duty lies. This, God willing, is what I will always do. Zack Lewis Williams was born January 15, 1898 and departed this life July 05, 1967. He was united in mar- riage to my mother, Etta Jane Maddox Williams on December 24, 1919, who precedes him in death. He was laid to rest beside her July 08, 1967, where he longed to be for five long years. Surviving him is one son: Zack Ross Williams of Woodboro, Texas; three daughters: Helen Juanita Benson, of San Diego, California, Billie Jean Klein and Elizabeth Ann Beicker, both of Seguin; thirteen grandchildren; six sisters; numerous nieces, nephews; Brethren in Christ and many friends. Our loss is so great and we can't help but ask "Why?" But God alone knows and assures us all that daddy is in heaven basking in the love of God, our Father. Daddy joined the church in 1922. He was ordained to the office of deacon October 1951, and served Mt. Zion Church in this capacity to his fullest. He was, indeed, a leader in the church and I feel has been missed tremendously by all - most certainly by me. This Resolution of Respect may seem long but even here I have not begun to empty my heart of all I feel about this man whom I call daddy. Remember all of his family in your prayers. One says time heals but the hurt is so deep I feel it will never heal. May God help us all. A Sister in Christ - Ann Williams Beicker, Church Clerk - Mt. Zion Primitive Baptist Church Nixon, Texas
