Harry Hiram Williams (August 23, 1879 – May 15 1922) was an American composer, lyricist, and publisher of popular music from 1903 until his death in 1922.

One of his early hits, written in 1905 with Egbert Van Alstyne, is "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree". He also produced story ideas and directed silent movies with Mack Sennett for Keystone Studios, according to Sennett's biography "The King of Comedy".

According to a weekly Newspaper,THE HAZEN STAR, an article appears today, July 3, 2008 In the Days Gone By section in the 45 years ago column, stating that Harry Williams homesteaded about 8 miles east and south of HAZEN, ND. The column also states that he wrote TIPPERARY. I believemy brother may have been the editor of the paper at that time, but I am not certain. submitted by Rudy Froeschle, MD, FT. Myers, FL
