According to Wikipedia, John Harry Williams was a Canadian-American physicist. Born in the asbestos mining town of Asbestos, Quebec, he had three brothers: Elewyn, Lloyd, and Arthur. John was an active child and participated in sports, developing a lifelong interest in the outdoors. His father, a mining engineer, died during the First World War, leaving his wife Josephine Stockwell to raise the family alone. She moved the family to Kelowna, British Columbia, where John attended public high school. He matriculated to the University of British Columbia on a full scholarship, where he graduated with a BS degree in 1928. During his last year at the university, he was married to Vera Martin; the couple had three children. Williams performed his graduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley, where he was awarded an MA degree in 1930 and a PhD the following year. In his first year of graduate school he published his first paper about a double crystal x-ray spectrometer.
