George S. WILLIAMS, barber, Eau Claire, Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, was 
born in 1852 in New York City. He came to Eau Claire in 1864. Mr. WILLIAMS 
was in the family of J. I. GILBERT, of the Eau Claire Lumber Company, for 
seven years. He learned his trade in 1873 in the Williams House. By 
industry and frugality, he saved enough to open a first class barber shop in 
1878, on Barstow Street, opposite the Eau Claire House [in Eau Claire, 
Wisconsin].
