    1. Fanny (Langworthy) Williams 1806-1887
    2. Jon in Omaha
    3. "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 43, No 43, p 8, Oct. 27, 1887. In Albion, Wis., Oct. 2, 1887, Fanny Langworthy, widow of Nathan C. Williams, in the 83d year of her age. She was born in Brookfield, Madison county, N. Y., Aug. 23, 1805, where she lived until 1846, when she married Nathan Chesebro Williams and soon after moved to Alfred, N. Y. Residing there until 1853, with her family she again moved westward settling in Albion, Dane Co., Wis., which was her home for the remained of her life. Her husband died thirteen years ago, and since then she lived with her only son, Chas. M. Williams. When she was married she became the stepmother to eight children, to whom she gave the tender care and affection of a mother. Her religious experience began with her conversion at fourteen years of age, at which time she united with the Baptist Church at Brookfield, of which she remained a member until her removal to Alfred, when she united with the First Seventh day Baptist Church of Alfred. Upon her coming to Albion, she removed her membership to the Seventh day Baptist Church of Albion of which she was a member until her death. In religious life she was a devoted worker, being anxious that all should find and enjoy the saving benefits of the same precious faith that filled her soul with the joys of salvation. She was known by all as a consecrated Christian, who lived consistently with the profession she made. Note: The year of death above is confirmed by the Albion Evergreen Cemetery transcription. The cemetery transcription gives her birth date as 23 Aug 1806, which I believe is correct. Her marriage date is recorded elsewhere as 10 Feb 1848.
