M.M. (Milton) Williams was Grandview's second superintendent of schools, serving after C.A. Waltz from 1919 to 1925. He is shown in 1923 in the oval inset, and in a 1922 photograph in front of the Higgs' residence, with the Lincoln Road home of Charles Butterworth in the background (also shown at right shortly after it was constructed in 1904). Williams was born in 1892, graduated from Ohio Wesleyan in 1913 and taught for 5 years before coming to Grandview. He was one of the delegates to the first White House Conference on Aging. He retired to Arizona and died in 1976.
