    3. "The SDB Register", Vol 4, No 10, p 39, May 3, 1843. In Westmoreland, on the 18th inst, Br. Geo. H. Williams, aged 66. Though somewhat deranged when first siezed, yet the last day of his life he was rational, and gave full proof of being prepared to meet Christ in peace. He was a member of the 1st S. D. B. Church in Verona. "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 26, No 42, p 167, Oct. 13, 1870. In Westmoreland, Oneida Co., N. Y., Aug. 21st, 1870, Mercy P. Williams, widow of Geo. H. Williams, aged 83 years and 3 months. The subject of this notice was born in Providence, R. I. She was brought up in the observance of the first day of the week, but embraced the Sabbath, either at marriage, or soon after. Herself and husband were among the first settlers of that part of Oneida county, and also among the founders of the First Verona Church, of which she was an honored member until death. Her long life was marked, to an unusual degree, by untiring energy, a cheerful, hopeful disposition, and unselfish devotion to the interests of others. To the bedside of the sick and dying, she was among the first to go, and last to leave. Her last hours bore witness to the power of divine grace, and the setting sun of her life went down unclouded by doubt or fear. Note: Does anyone have Mercy's maiden name? They Came to Milton http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jonsaunders
