A photo of this Headstone was taken by Ron and Janice Nugen in Pratt County, KS. It is of the gravestone of Solomon Henry Williams, son of Mathew and Elizabeth (Luther) Williams, who died April 29, 1880 after a hunting trip in which the weather turned cold and wet and he contracted Pneumonia. He had also, unknowingly, been exposed to measles which began to manifest when he returned from his hunting trip. The combination of measles and pneumonia were too much and he died at 21 years of age. This information contributed by Sharon Lemkuil.
