The death of Miss Williams removes an admired and loved member of the town of Woodstock in which she was born in 1853. the youngest of seven children of William Pitt Williams and Maria Theresa Fox.

 In 1912 she gave up all active work, retiring to her old home in West Woodstock Her stay, though, was confined to the summer, her win ters were spent in Hartford in the midst of associations such as a woman of her mental attainment required.
 Miss Williams was a descendant of the Rev John Williams (the captive) the first minister of Deerfeld, Mass, and descendant of Stephen Williams the first minister of West Parish, Woodstock She possessed many val uable and interesting heirlooms and documents of interest to the early set clement of both places Also treas ures the Rev, John Williams brought from Canada when released All mat ters pertaining to her native town were of great interest, particularly during her years of impaired health. Miss Williams is survived by one sis ter, Ellen Williams.
 The funeral services at her home in West Woodstock were conducted by the Rev Henry Baker and Miss Lydia Hartig The bearers were three nephews and one cousin.
