Williams lived in North Georgia until 1858, when he was hired as the superintendent of Macon’s Academy for the Blind. He remained in this highest administrative position at the school for 40 years, until his death. Williams was the co-founder of the Bibb County Public School System. He revered Hannah Guillan (#20) as a mother figure, and took her advice when she pleaded with him not to volunteer for the Civil War. Williams died only six months after the death of his mentor, Miss Guillan.
