EDWIN S. WILLIAMS.  

	Edwin S. Williams, junior partner of the legal firm of Carrothers
& Williams of Regina, first came to western Canada in 1911, following
his graduation from Osgoode Hall, where he prepared for the law. Born
in Clinton, Ontario, he is the son of Richard Watson and Sophia (Bain)
Williams, both parents being natives and lifelong residents of that prov-
ince. His grandparents on both sides of the house were English by birth
and came to Canada in early life. The father was a practicing physician
in Allenford for more than a quarter of a century' and one of the city's
prominent citizens. At one time he held the office of mayor and served
his community in a number of other official capacities.  Dr. Williams
was a Methodist in religious faith, a Liberal in his political views and
fraternally was affiliated with the Masonic order.  Only two of seven
children born to the Williams family are living: Miss Cora G. Williams
of Cleveland, Ohio; and Edwin S., the subject of this review.
	Edwin S. Williams obtained his liberal education in the Owen Sound
Collegiate Institute and the University of Toronto, which latter institu-
tion granted him the Bachelor of Arts degree,, At Osgoode Hall he pre-
pared for the legal profession, graduating with the Bachelor Qf. Laws
degree as a member of the class of 1911. Shortly after completing the
work at Osgoode Hall, the young man came to Regina to enter the law
office of Ashton D. Carrothers, a rising young solicitor who took him
into partnership, forming the firm of Carrothers & Williams, which now
has its offices in the Westman Chambers. These two men conduct a gen-
eral practice and have won the confidence of the entire community by
their faithfulness and efficiency in their professional work.
	Fraternally Mr. Williams is connected with the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows, while his religious faith is indicated by his membership
in the Metropolitan Methodist church. For recreation and diversion from
his professional cares and responsibilities he turns to golf and during
the season spends much of his leisure time on the links of the Regina
Golf Club. He is also a member of the Assiniboia Club of Regina. His
political allegiance is given to the Liberal party but he does not seek nor
desire office, preferring to concentrate his undivided attention upon his
profession, in which he is enjoying a good practice and one that is steadily
increasing.
