Kathy Kreag Williams has served many years in the Indiana General Assembly and now is the Hamilton County Clerk.  According to my news-gathering partner, the Hamilton County Reporter, Ms. Richardson has been presented with the Sagamore of the Wabash award by her former colleague in the Legislature,  State Representative Tom Saunders.

The award itself says Clerk Williams is “distinguished by her humanity in living, her loyalty in friendship, her wisdom in council, and her inspiration in leadership.”

Sagamore of the Wabash is issued by the governor, an honor dating back to Indiana Governor Ralph F. Gates, who served from 1945 to 1949.

Williams served 26 years as a member of the Indiana House of Representatives, 10 years (1982-1991 and 2019-2021) as Hamilton County Clerk, and has been employed by the county for a total of 45 years.
