Walter Heath Williams
Walter Heath Williams (birthdate unknown, exhibited 1841 to 1876) was a Victorian landscape artist known for his paintings of fields of haystacks and corn stooks. Life Little is known for certain about Walter Heath Williams due to widespread confusion of him with a contemporary artist also named Walter Williams (painter), Walter Williams (1834–1906), who was a member of the well-known Williams family of painters. Because both men were landscape artists, living in England at about the same time, and both signed their works similarly, it is difficult to distinguish one from the other. However, Walter Heath Williams lived in the southwest of England in Bath, Somerset, and in Topsham, Devon, Topsham and Torquay in Devon, whereas his namesake lived nearly his entire life in Surrey, on the south side of London. The consequence of this mistaken identity is that neither the birth nor death dates of Walter Heath Williams are known for sure. However, we do know that he actively exhibite ...

Walter Williams (centenarian)
Walter Washington Williams (November 14, 1842 or 1854 – December 19, 1959) claimed to have been a forager for Hood's Brigade, which if true made him the last surviving veteran of the American Civil War. Serious doubt has been claimed about the veracity of these claims. Last surviving veteran claims Born in Itawamba County, Mississippi, Williams claimed to have served under General John Bell Hood, as a foragemaster in Hood's Brigade and Quantrill's guerrillas. Since John Salling and all the other "last claimants" were dead, Williams was celebrated as the "last Confederate veteran." When he died in 1959 in Houston, Texas, at the reported age of 117, U.S. Grant III, chairman of the Civil War Centennial, said the death was an occasion for national mourning. However, in September 1959, Scripps-Howard journalist Lowell K. Bridwell revealed that he could not find "one single scrap" of substantiating evidence to back up Williams's age or claims of military service, or anyone ...

A sharpshooting 6'8" forward/guard, Williams attended school at the University of Maryland from 1988 to 1992, and is credited by many for resurrecting the school's basketball program which was going through very difficult times.

Rather than transfer to another school, Williams chose to remain at Maryland and play under new coach Gary Williams.
