Biography
American school teacher from Jackson Hole, Wyoming who met L.O. Williams, a botanist studying at the University of Wyoming, and they married in 1934. Early collections (1931-1934) are cited 'Rua Pierson' but later material is variously cited as R.P. Williams (c. 1937) or T.P. Williams (1962-1974). The Conservatory at the University of Wyoming was named the Louis O. And Terua P. Williams Conservatory in their honour.
