Death of Mrs. James Williams.

Mrs. James Williams, of Clark Town­ship, mention of whose serious illness was made last week, died at her home Saturday afternoon at the advan­ced age of eighty-one years. She was one of the pioneers of the county, a lady held in high esteem by all who knew her.

Mrs. Williams was born in Kentucky in 1816, and came to the county while quite young with her father, Benj. Wheeler. She was married to Mr. Wil­liams in 1835, and she and her husband have lived here continuously since. A few months ago Mr. and Mrs. Williams celebrated their sixty-first wedding anni­versary at which time many of their numerous friends gathered at their home. Deceased, together with her hus­band, were charter members of the Rocklane Christian church and had al­ways remained a worker in that organi­zation. The funeral took place from her late home Sunday afternoon at 2 o’­clock, the services which were largely attended, being conducted by Elder Ashley, of this city.
