Census: 05 Apr 1930, Elberton, Elbert Co., GA; Worked in Cotton Mill

Notes:

James was much older than Runette when they got married. She was only 13 when they got married. She was one of the younger children and this was a marriage of convenience for the family. She left him after only one year and returned home (possibly). We never found out about this marriage until she was in her 90's and found out about it from her brother Ernest. Ernest originally thought that Runette had gone to North Adams on her own or with some of her family looking for work in the mills. But James' draft registration card was completed in North Adams in 1918 and lists his closest relative as "Runette Williams". So she probably went to North Adams with James.

The address on the WWI Draft Registration Card for James Talbert Williams is 123 Beaver Street. This is the same address listed for John Clarence Holt on his WWI Draft Registration Card. More evidence that Runette did indeed marry James Talbert Williams.
