FALL into CAVE
CAUSES DEATH
While Visiting at the Home of
Her Son In the Country

| Mrs. Sarah Williams who for many
years has been making her home with
her daughter, Mrs. T. w. Staley in
Audubon, met accidental death while
visiting at the home of her son ID.
ID. Williams north of town Friday
evening.
She was out in the yard walking
around, and not seeing the door to
the cave open, fell into it resulting
in injuries that caused her death
The family saw her at the time of the
accident but were not near enough to
prevent il. 1t was about $50 when
Mrs. Williams was injured but she
| fingered until 1900 o'clock before
the end came. While the injury was
not necessarily a serious one, yet the
81 years had rendered her constitu-
tion so frail that she could not with
stand the shock.
Sarah A. (Deringer) Williams was
born Feb. IL. 1924, in Madison
county, Indiana. Here she grew to
womanhood and received her educa-
tion in the schools of Indianapolis
She was married to X. s. Williams al
Cincinnati, Ohio, on July z, 1853, and
the next year they moved to Jasper
county. Iowa. They were blessed
in having five children born unto
them all of whom still are living and
are as follows: M. T. Williams of
Brocksburg, Nebr., j. w. Williams.
Bonesteel, s. d., ID. d. Williams, Mrs.
T. w. Staley and Mrs. Chas. Bagley
of Audubon, Iowa
Her husband died in the year 1879
leaving her widow with the children
and in 1881 she moved with them to
! Audubon county, Iowa, where she
purchased a farm and settled with
the children. For many years she
has made her home with the children
and greatly enjoyed life. She was
at the home of her son, ID. ID. WILL
Jams, in Viola township where she
accidentally fell into the cellar which
resulted in her death on Sept. "a.
1915, her age being 81 years,
months and IL days. II Is singular
coincidence that her grandmother
died in similar manner at the age
of 104 falling from wagon while
going to a neighbors to spin. The
ancestry to which she belonged was
OF long lived, her father and mother
having died at the age of SO and 92
respectively.
During her girlhood she thus early
gave her heart and life to Christ and
united with the First Methodist
Church in Indianapolis. Ind. During
all the years of her life she never
forgot her Saviour but counted Him
dear to her. She was a faithful and
true companion to her husband, low
ing and kind mother, and a friend to
all who knew her. While her life was
long one 1t was also useful one.
She leaves to mourn her loss the
children and grandchildren. many
other relatives and a host of friends.
The funeral services were conduct
ed from the home of d. d. Williams
lon Tuesday morning by the Rev.
jackson Giddens, Pastor First M. Il.
church, in Audubon, after which the
mortal remains were laid to rest in
Arlington Heights cemetery.
