Williams, was born in 1849 in Connecticut of English ancestry. His mother, Mary A. Conlin, was born in 1850 in NYC of Irish ancestry. In 1887 at the age of twelve he finished the seventh grade of public school and entered the work force as an errand boy in the editorial office of a syndicated newspaper. That same company also had an editorial office in Chicago. After a few years of working his way up the ladder, he was transferred in 1892 to Chicago, where he began to work on the staff as a newspaper artist.At the age of eighteen, according to several newspaper accounts, Charles D. Williams "began his art career as an illustrator in Chicago newspapers in 1893. From Chicago he went to the art staff of The Saturday Evening Post."In 1898 newspaper advertisements for the December 22 issue of The Saturday Evening Post feature an introduction to the public of "a new artist, C. D. Williams."In 1900 the artist received sensational notoriety when he was mistakenly arrested for molesting a young woman. His reputation was widely promoted in newspaper accounts of the subsequent trial, including one noteworthy lampoon by journalist Leigh Bierce (1874-1901), the son of Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914).On January 27, 1910 he became a founding member of the Society of Illustrators of New York, of which he later served as President. Other founding members included Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944), Frank DuMond (1865-1951) and Lejaren Hiller. Another member of the club, James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960), drew his portrait.In 1912 Charles and Josephine Williams rented a country home at 10 Stonelea Place in New Rochelle, NY, which was a fashionable community for illustrators, such as Joseph & Frank Leyendecker, Norman Rockwell and Howard Chandler Christy (1873-1952).His illustrations appeared in national magazines, such as Collier's, The Saturday Evening Post, American, and The Ladies Home Journal.He painted covers for pulp magazines. His work appeared on The Cavalier, Blue Book, The Argosy, All-Story, All-Story Weekly, and All-Story Love. He also drew interior pen and ink illustrations for pulp magazines, such as Munsey's Magazine and All-Story Love.In 1937 he began to teach Illustration at the National Academy of Design at 1083 Fifth Avenue near 89th Street.In 1938 he painted the cover of the December 3rd issue of Liberty Magazine.In 1939 he and his wife moved to Tenafly, New Jersey, where they lived at 326 Knickerbocker Road.On April 27, 1942 during WWII he registered with the selective service as required by law. He was sixty-seven. He was recorded to be five-eight, 133 pounds, blue eyes, brown hair and a scar on left cheek.After the war he retired from illustration and concentrated on painting commissioned portraits.Charles D. Williams died after a long illness at home in Englewood, NJ, at the age of seventy-eight on January 10, 1954.
