MRS. SUSAN WILLIAMS CALLED TO REWARD

Coming while she was taking an afternoon nap the passing Friday 
afternoon of Mrs. Susan F. Williams, came as a shock to the family and 
hosts of friends. Her death occurred at the home of her son, Mr. Fred 
Williams, with whom she had made her home for some time.  After dinner 
she lay down for her usual nap and when members of the family found 
her later she was dead.  Death was said to have been caused by 
paralysis, she having suffered one stroke some time ago. Mrs. Williams, 
who was 66 years of age, was a native of Spalding county and was a Miss 
Miles before her marriage.  She had made her home in Butts County for 
some twenty years or more.  She was a member of Cedar Rock Church and 
her many fine traits of Christian character were to be seen in her 
daily life.  By a large circle of friends she was held in the highest 
esteem and her going away will be widely mourned and sincerely 
regretted.
Mrs. Williams reared a large family of splendid sons and daughters who 
survive her.  The sons are Mssrs. T.E., Walter, Ernest, Fred and Oscar.
Her daughters are Mrs. N.C. Williamson, Mrs. J.S. Reeves, 
Mrs. J.O. Pressley, Mrs. Tom Maddox and Miss Florrie Williams, 
all of whom have the sympathy of scores of friends.
The funeral was held at Cedar Rock church Saturday afternoon at 3 O'Clock, 
a large concourse of friends and relatives gathering for a last tribute.  
Rev. E.C. Wilson, of Jenkinsburg, conducted the services.  
Many beautiful floral offerings attested the love and esteem in which the 
deceased was held.  Her grandsons acted as casket bearers and the body was 
laid to rest in the churchyard.
