Hi, this is not my line but I thought it might interest someone on the list. Judith > Friday, 27 Oct, 1911--MRS. SARAH WILLIAMS DEAD-Mrs. Sarah Williams, whose > serious illness was noted in our last issue, passed peacefully away at her > home in this place at 8:30 o'clock Friday morning, Oct 29, 1911, from > valvular disease of the heart, aged 77 years. > About a year ago her health began to fail, and for three months past her > decline was very rapid. She was a woman of grit and determination and was > devoted to her family and refused to give up, but kept up her household > duties to within a week of her death. > Mrs. Williams was born in Aberdare, South Wales, June 26, 1834, and came to > this country about 40 years ago. The family located in Higbee in 1887, and > have resided here constantly since. > Mrs. Williams was never happier than when doing something for the comfort > and happiness of her children or some distressed or sick friend, and in her > death the town has lost as good a woman as ever lived in it. She was a > great lover of her home, and until she visited a daughter in Illinois > several years ago, she had never spent a night from under her own roof. > She was the mother of 6 children, one of whom died in infancy in > Pennsyvlania. > The children are Miles, Thomas H., Jenkins, Mrs. George Lilly and Miss > Lizzie, all of whom were with her when she passed away. > Services were held at the home Sunday by Revs. W. L. Halberstadt and Ben > Robson, and the large assemblage present spoke more eloquent than words of > the esteem > in which she was held. > Interment was made in the city cemetery. > The NEWS joins the community in sympathy to the bereaved ones.
