Mrs. Frances Williams died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R. Brisco,

Mrs. Williams had been failing for some time, but her complaint was not
considered serious until last week, when the best physicians were
summoned, who decided an operation was necessary to save her life, to
which she objected, and died as she lived, a faithful devoted Christian,
who suffered intensely before death, but passed away fearlessly and
peacefully with strength in the Lord.
Francis A. Goodwin was born at Louisa, Kentucky, Aug. 28th, 1836 and at
the age of 15 joined the Baptist Church in which she was always a
devoted worker. She was married at the home of her birth to Henry
James Williams at the age of 22. She leaves six children, four

A. Goodwin and wife, brother of the deceased of Topeka.
Funeral services were held at the M.P. church where she was a devoted
member, Wednesday evening at 6:00, conducted by Rev. Morgan, after which
the remains were taken to the Allen cemetery, followed by a score of
sorrowing relatives and friends, who assembled at the grave, where
services were held, to pay their last sad tributes to the dead.
The casket was decorated with beautiful flowers, before being lowered
into the grave and Rev. Morgan spoke for the last time a few words of
consolation and hope over the remains. Mr. and Mrs. Brisco and
other relatives have the sympathy of our people in this their sad hour
of life.
