Mother Mary of the Nativity Williams,
superior. founder of the House of the
Good Shepherd of this city. died at Port
land Saturday afternoon at o'clock from
heart failure. Her remains arrived last
evening and the funeral services will be
held some time tomorrow.
Her death was a great surprise TO the
sisters of the House of the Good Shep-
herd and her many friends in Seattle, St.
Paul and Chicago.
She had been the victim of a tumor for
some time, and came to the conclusion
that an operation would extend her life
and enable her TO do more work in her
chosen cause. Last Monday she Went
TO Portland. accompanied by Sister Mary
of the st. Rose. She was cheerful and
had no fear that the operation would
prove otherwise than a success. Upon
reaching Portland she went TO Providence
hospital. where the tumor was removed
Thursday. Contrary to her expectations,
she did not rally and at o'clock Saturday
afternoon passed away. Her death was
without pain and she was conscious TO
the last. In the face of the inevitable
she was brave, and when the last moment
came she passed from this life to that be-
yond with the words of a prayer upon her
lips.
Mother Superior Williams was one OF
Natures noble women. and it viii not he
ali easy 1littEf 10 III fte-T liAte dt the III
stitutAon, where she was beloved and hon
ored. Before entering the order of the
House of the Good Shepherd her name
was Johanna Williams. She was born Il
years ago in County Kerry, ireland, and
when year old was brought TO this coun-
try by her parents. The family lived for a
time in Buffalo. ". Y. Then they went To-
Canada and finally settled in Chicago.
In 1864 Johanna Williams entered the or
der OF the House of the Good Shepherd In
Chicago, remaining there rs years. A
greater part of that time she was the as
sistant superior.
Some time in 1859 or thereabouts, she Wis
tied St. Louis but did not remain long. az
she was called to st. Paul. In the spring
OF 1890 her order decided 10 establish q
house In Seattle and the preliminary ar
rangements were effected by Father Gin
life It was decided that Sister Mary of
the Nativity Williams was the proper per-
son 10 take charge OF the Seattle house.
and in that capacity she became Mother
Mary OF the Nativity Williams.
She arrived I'm Seattle July o. 1880. ac-
companied by the following sisters: Sis
ter Mary OF st. Rose. Sister Mary Of the
Presentation. Sister Mary of st. Adele and
Sister st, Stanisiaus. All OF these are stiIi
connected with the house. except Sister
St Adele who was called TO ST. Paul
There was one more sister than men
toned. but her name is not recalled.
Those who are unaeouainted with the
work of this order have little idea of the
difficulties that confronted Mother SUI

establishing the House OF the Good shep-
