Biographical History

Educator and historian, born in Maysfield, Texas, the oldest child of a merchant and cotton planter,

Williams earned a B. A. degree at Southwest Texas State Normal School (1922) and B A. and M. A. degrees (1926) and Ph. D. (1931) at the University of Texas. She taught in several rural Texas schools from 1904 to 1925. From 1925 until retirement in 1951, she taught American and British history at the University of Texas, where she also collaborated with Eugene C. Barker in researching, editing, and publishing the writings of Sam Houston. She was considered an authority on the 1836 seige of the Alamo, the subject of her doctoral dissertation, the first five chapters of which were published in the Southwestern Historical Quarterly of the Texas State Historical Association in 1933 and 1934.
