Titus County has two cemeteries named “Williams”. The other was sometimes called “Glass Cemetery”, so we call it Williams-Glass and this one simply “Williams”.
Williams Cemetery is not a cemetery in the classic sense. It contains only the two graves of a man and wife. The cemetery has a chain link fence around it and is kept in good condition. Why this couple is buried so remotely and yet in such close proximity (about 150 yards) to the Springhill Southeast Cemetery is unknown.
