Charles Phillip Williams
1873 - 1950 (76 years)
| Birth | 17 Oct 1873 | Matagorda County, Texas, USA |
| Died | 30 Aug 1950 | Bay City, Matagorda County, Texas, USA |
| Buried | mDr. John Randolph Allen, husband of Wilhelmina Williams, murders Lucy and Sarah Williams Dr. J. Randolph Allen, age 22, born in New York, was enumerated in the 1870 Matagorda County census. His wife was Minna, age 17, born in Texas. He married Wilhelmina Williams, daughter of John and Catherine Williams in 1870. They were living in Matagorda, Texas and had one son, William Clifford "Willie" Allen (Jan 15, 1872 - Sep 26, 1927). Family tradition claimed that Lucy Williams and her sister, Sarah "Sallie," were murdered by their brother-in-law, Dr. Allen, who was in love with Lucy while married to their sister, Wilhelmina. When Lucy became engaged to Henry Eidlebach, Dr. Allen poisoned her out of jealousy, and then poisoned Sallie to divert suspicion. He fled the town with the Williams boys in hot pursuit, but he escaped. Later the family got a letter from him from Africa in which he told that the Williams boys had been all around him, but he had buried himself in the sand. Sallie and Lucy were buried on the Matagorda Peninsula and their graves are lost. On May 15, 1877, Wilhelmina Allen married Edward Kilbride (b c 1845), in Matagorda County and had a daughter, Mamie (married Max G. Klein), and a son, Harry. Henry Eidlebach was Wilhelmina's third husband. They were married June 25, 1885. Their children were Eugene and Henry."
