Mrs. Frances Williams passed away Friday evening at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Jacob Beard, south of the city, after a lingering
illness with diabetes.
The funeral occurred Sunday afternoon, from the Baptist Church
of our city. She was a devoted Christian, and lived so near her
Lord that others could see that she had learned of Him. Her
patience and beauty of disposition was exemplified and
brought to a test in the dark hours through weary years of
suffering and pain.
Four children mourn her loss; J.E. of our city; B.F. of
Carbondale: W. E. of Eldorado; and Alice, wife of
Jacob Beard, of Old Town. At the home of the last named,
her closing years were peacefully spent, made yet happier
by the devotion of children and grandchildren. The Beard
farm was formerly the Esq. Burbank's, a restful home for
declining years after a life full of suffering and trial incident
to the three score years and ten.
