Williams, Alice Tapp, 1893-1918

Alice Tapp Williams, daughter of Walter (Louis) and Florence Stannard Tapp was born on November 24, 1893. Nothing is known of her early life. In 1911, she, along with her widowed mother and her brothers Lewis Preston (born December 7, 1891) and Bert, moved to Toledo, Ohio. Both Alice and her mother worked intermittently, she as a clerk at various clothing stores (including A. S. Hickok and Milners) and her mother as a seamstress. Preston worked as an assembler, but was employed only occasionally due to poor health.

On July 6, 1915, Alice and her mother moved to Prairie Depot, Wood County, Ohio to live with the Stannards because of financial difficulties. Florence Tapp continued to work while Alice kept house. Alice lived in Prairie Depot until February 19, 1916 when she married Clyde O. Williams, a plumber in Toledo. They had one son, James Stannard Williams, born December 21, 1917. The Williams family rented a house on Point Place Road, Toledo and resided there until Alice's death on December 28, 1918. Both she and her brother Preston (who died on January 1, 1917) suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis. Her husband, Clyde, eventually remarried and continued to reside in Toledo until his death on June 17, 1972.
