Excellent video, Will! I should add that the reason we landed on Williams for the name was because the Alpheus S. Williams GAR post #40 was located right here in Charlotte, MI and even met for a time right across the street from our workshop! Lots of 6th and 12th Michigan veterans, as well as many others met in the post named for General Williams.
