Mrs. A. Lee Williams.

Just as we were going to press last
week we were called up to announce
the sudden and entirely unexpected
death of Mrs. A. Lee Williams. At
that time we could do no more than
make the sad announcement. Since
then we have gathered few facts
concerning Mrs. Williams which may
be of interest to our readers.
The parents of Mrs. Williams,
George and Martha Beardsley emf
grated to Michigan from New Jersey
IN 1890; and settled in Southheld,
Oakland county, where Matte (Mrs.
Williams) was born August II, 1885.
Her childhood home was the home of
the pioneer settler in Michigan. Her
chances for education were limited to
the then district schools of the state.
Yet by the aid she derived from them,
and by self culture, she became fine
scholar, and for many years was a
teacher in the public schools of our
state. In 1865 or she was CONVEX
ted, baptized by Rev. Us. Boyden, of
Now, and united with the Baptist
church, of which to the hour of her
departure she was an active, consis-
tent and efficient member,and she will
be sadly missed in her church circles.
On the 18TH of February, 1875, she
was united in marriage with "A. Lee
Williams, eldest son OF the late Hon.
'A.L.Williams, of this city, and one of
its most enterprising citizens. Her mar
ried life is reputed to have been one Of
unusual felicity. Educated and &C.
complished, she found in her husband
a companion who was worthy OF her
love, and who spared no pains to make
his and her home what home should
be, the chosen place of earth. Orna-
ments that she cherished, from the
old oak logs Of her child-home,
adorned the walls of her beautiful
home in this city, such we venture 10
guess as cannot be found in another
home in the city.
During the pastorate of Mr.. Far
mum, she became member of Chau.
tauqua circle, which he originated
and became much interested in that
system of education-expressing but
a few days before her death, wish
that the circle could be reorganized,
and its educational influence extend
ed.
On Sunday afternoon funeral SER
vices we're held at her late residence
on Oliver street, conducted by Rev.
John Donnelly, and the remains fol.
lowed to their last resting place in
Oakhill cemetery by large and sor-
rowing concourse of relatives and
friends, including many from abroad.

On Monday night the Common
Council voted to submit TO the elect
tors on Monday of next week the
question of bonding the city for $40
oco to aid the Toledo road in con-
strucling an independent line to Du
rand. there to connect with their
southern branch. When the arrange
ments were being made to build this
road, The city voted 10 give them
5000 half OF which was paid when
The road was built north and now
Mr.. Ashley asks the city to issue the
other $1,000 in bonds TO be deliv
cred to him when the road is in
running order between St. Louis and
Toledo. He agrees to build and
equip the road and make it com
peting line and moreover he agrees
10 secure his own right of way, thus
saving the city that expense. To do
this, we understand, would be in &C
cordance with the arrangements made
by the committee of citizens appoint
ed at public meeting to complete
the arrangements with Mr.. ALLEY.
