DEATH OF MRS.
CHARLES o. WILLIAMS
SucCumbs i'm Texas Home Exactly
-Four Months After Railroad Ac-
cident-Has Many Friends Here.


Those friends and relatives who
watched her brave fight for life after
sustaining injuries regarded at first
as fatal, and who thought her ulti-
mate recovery was now a certainty,
were shocked to learn that Mrs.
Charles o. Williams passed away at
her home in Corpus Christi, Sunday
evening, November 30, at 1880
o'clock
Mrs. Williams, it will be recalled,
was one of those injured in the
Hooper's creek wreck on the Lam
caster & Chester Railway, July 80,
last. Those who visited the scene of
that disaster will never forget her
thoughtfulness for her little chill
dren when it was thought that she
herself was facing death. Her calm
ness then was no less remarkable
than her patience during the long and
tedious days at the Magdalene Hos
pital in Chester, where she was hur-
ried after the wreck. For many days
she heroically battled for health and
strength against what seemed hope
less odds. Her one thought seemed
that she must live to care for her
husband and seven little children.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams were re-
turning with their family from-a visit
to Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Culp and other
relatives of Mr.. Williams here and
in the county, when the train to
Chester went down.
Mrs. Williams was before her mar
riage to Mr.. Charles Oscar Williams,
formerly of this county, a Miss Mat
tie Curry. She was born and reared
near Corpus Christi, where she and
her husband made their home Mrs
Williams was 81 years OF age last
April. She had a bright, CHEEKY dis
position and made many friends
during the visit she made to Lancas-
ter last summer. And if nothing
further were known of her splendid
character, her fortitude and patience
under the terrible ordeal she under
went are sufficient testimony to it's
strength and sweetness. Amid un-
told sufferings she seemed to realize
that everything that physicians and
nurses could do for her relief was be-
ing done and her unselish thought
of those dependent upon her dis
turbed her far more than her own
precarious condition.
Her happiness at being reunited
with her family in Texas was wit
messed by MIR. Clyburn Wilson of this
place, kinsman who, with a nurse
accompanied her home to Corpus
Christi on a special train.
No particulars have been learned
but Mrs. James S Wilson received
from her last Friday a letter i'm which
she referred to her condition as i'm
proved, stating that her family ply
sician thought that only time was
needed for her complete recovery.
For this reason it is thought that
some sudden complication must have
been the occasion of her death
Mrs. Williams leaves surviving
her, husband and seven children.
Alma, Leslie, Oscar, Alice, Betty.
Susie and Mildred, and her father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. j. f. Curry
of Port Arayas, Texas. To all of
these sorrowing loved ones many
hearts feel sympathy, for their loss
is indeed great.
