Beyond his employment as a professor, Williams also held a position as the Assistant Latitude Observer of United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, operating an observatory at Gaithersburg, Maryland, from 1932 to 1941.
According to the obituary in The Washington Post, Williams died on February 7, 1974, and his buried was handled by the Gartner Sandison Funeral Home in Maryland.
Because The George Washington University employed him for only 14 years and only as a Lecturer and Associate in Mathematics, there is limited knowledge about his accomplishments.
The only information on Williams’ achievements at The George Washington University is found in his personal records in the archives section of its library.
Williams married Helen Ball Shawaker on June 9, 1931, in Columbus, Ohio, where she had been born on May 12, 1905, the daughter of Frank Albert Schauweker.
