MORTON, on Sixth street. He has been ill for several weeks, but it was not until within a few days that his many friends gave up all hope of his recovery. His eminent abilities and long identification with the interests and politics of Quincy and Illinois deserve a better notice than we can prepare today, which must be our excuse for the omission. ---Since writing the above the following has been handed us by one who has known Judge WILLIAMS ling and intimately. We have lost a dear friend, and the Bar one of its brightest ornaments. There were few better lawyers than Archibald WILLIAMS.--- He was not a quick man, but his powers of analysis were unsurpassed. He thought with great clearness, and while not eloquent in the usual acceptation of that word, few could withstand the power of his reasoning. What he knew was always well and clearly known, and well and clearly told. Honest, generous, kind-hearted to a fault, but every retiring and modest, none knew him well, that did not love him. The younger members of the Bar found in him always a kind friend and teacher; the older men of the profession found him an antagonist worthy of the skill of the best of the Bar. Judge WILLIAMS was a self-educated, self-made man, and ever tried to improve his mental powers. When Quincy was a mere village, in the year 1829, he settled here, and commenced the practice of the law. He was afterward representative at various times in both branches of the Illinois Legislature, and was a distinguished member of the Constitutional Convention 1847. States Attorney for the District of Illinois, and served in that capacity with great ability until the end of Mr. FILLMORE's administration.

He accepted the position and removed to Topeka, Kansas, in which place he has resided since the summer of 1861. Of feeble frame, his overtasked mind overcame his bodily strength, and he passed away calmly, in the vigor of his mental powers. We have loss----he was gained.

Quincy Whig May 23, 1870 page 4-- "The City"--Another Old Settler Passed Away-- The Carthage Gazette contains a long obituary notice of John Wesley WILLIAMS, of Hancock county, who died on the 12th inst. at the age of seventy-seven years. This is another of the honored pioneers of this county who has sunk to rest after a long life radiant with usefulness and honor. He was, we believe, older than his two brothers, Robert, a successful and respected lawyer who died here about the year 1840, and Judge Archy WILLIAMS, so well known to all as one of the ablest jurists of the land and one of the noblest hearted men of whom Illinois can boast. Judge Wesley WILLIAMS was a native of Lincoln County, Kentucky. About the year 1825 he emigrated to Quincy and here resided until some time in the year 1828 when he removed to Hancock county and continued to live there until his death. On the organization of that county 1829, he was made Clerk of the County Commissioner's Court and held this office until 1837. He was Clerk of the Circuit from 1829 until 1840, and Probate Judge from 1830 to 1840, and also Recorder of Deeds during the same period, than holding for the first ten or twelve years all the clerical offices in the county. Since 1840 his life has been that of a private citizen, and no man within the bounds of an extensive acquaintance held more fully the confidence and respect of the community, and was more generally honored for his judgment and integrity. "For some time past his health has been visibly declining, and although he did not seem to be afflicted with any particular disease, yet it was evident that he was gradually passing away. When death that he was gradually passing away. When death came it was not unexpected, although at the moment when if appeared there was no prevention that it was so near. He sank to rest without a groan or struggle. Mr. WILLIAMS, for nearly fifty years, was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in his life and deportment he will illustrated the beauty of a Christian character. He retained his mental faculties unimpaired to the last, and died in the hope of a blessed immortality.

Quincy Whig, July 18, 1870 page 4-- Death of Isaac O. WOODRUFF--The death of Mr. Isaac O. WOODRUFF, at his residence in this city, on Saturday morning last, breaks another of the few living links that reach back to our village history. One by one are our pioneers sinking from sight until scarce any remain. Mr. WOODRUFF was born in New York City in May 1813, emigrated to Illinois in 1836, landing in Quincy. After a few month's stay he went back to New York, and after marrying the estimable lady who survives him, he returned in the fall of that year to make Quincy his permanent home. He first engaged in merchandising, but subsequently spent some time as Clerk and Owner of a river steamer, and was still later associated with Messrs. FLAG and SAVAGE in the banking business holding the position of Cashier. A thoroughly educated business man and one of the few among our earlier settlers who were fortunate in the possession of capital, he early acquired and has held for over a third of a century a business prominence and a conspicuous identification with public affairs. He has been connected in various capacities with our town and city government, and in 1861 was elected to the mayoralty. In the last year his constitution has been enfeebly by paralytic symptoms, and a violent attack of Cholera Morbus found him too weak to resist.Few men have enjoyed a more general and favorable acquaintance in our community, where his winning personal traits and his unusual business skill have secure from those who have here known him long of lately more of kind and generous memory than will be associated with his name.
