Monroe Advertiser, May 18, 1939 Issue
Mrs. Marium Miller Williford Passes. (Monroe Advertiser, May 18, 1939) (File 
submitted by Jane Newton, transcribed by E. Robertson)
On May 12, Mrs. Marium Miller Williford, widow of the late Hines Williford, 
III, entered into that last deep sleep.  She had been in declining health for a 
number of years but for several months had been in a very feeble condition, 
gradually growing more critical.
    Mrs. Williford was a daughter of a very old and prominent family, large 
plantation owners of Crawford county, during the antebellum days.  Her mother 
was the former Miss Caroline Elizabeth Bentley and her father the late William 
Miller.  Both Mrs. Williford and her husband came from old southern aristocracy 
and throughout  Mrs. Williford's long life she adorned the traditions of the 
old South and exemplified the traits of true Christian womanhood, being an 
inspiration to all whose pleasure it was to know her.  Se was a true neighbor 
and friend; gracious in her manner always.  In her home, she served untiringly 
and in her husband's heart she truly reigned as queen. She was ever ready to 
minister unto the sick and ready, those less fortunate than she.
    Mrs. Williford united with Mt. Carmel Primitive Baptist church during her 
young ladyhood and remained a true and faithful member until her death.
    After her marriage to Mr. Williford on January 16, 1873, they came to 
Monroe County and bought a home at Montpelier Spring, residing there for thirty 
years, then sold and purchased their present home at Brent.  She  left two 
daughters, Mrs. Tillman J. Sanders, with whom she resided, and Mrs. L. D. Owen, 
several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, a niece,  Mrs. Martha Bayne of 
Macon; a nephew, W. M. White of Culloden.
    Her funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev. Hunt, who resides at Perry, 
who paid a beautiful tribute to her long life of 86 years.  Interment was in 
the family cemetery at Brent.  [Back to Index]
