So. Dakota, June 22, 1911 Mrs. Harlam Williams It is with a feeling of sadness that we chronicle the death of Mrs. Harlam Williams which occurred Saturday morning at nine o'clock at her home east of Beresford. She had been sick for five weeks, first having an attack of pneumonia which greatly weakened her system and other complications followed which was to much for a person of her years, although everything within human power was done to pull her through. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Gothland church, conducted by Rev. Shoemaker of Beresford, and interment was made at the Gothland Cemetery. Mrs. William's maiden name was Miss Amanda Michel (Mickel correct spelling by submitter) and she was born in Crawford county, PA., being 68 years old day before last Christmas. Fifty-three years ago she was married to the surviving husband, this taking place in Ionia county, Mich. Later they moved to Ioa, settling near Hawarden. They moved to South Dakota 26 years ago last fall. To them were born four children, two of whom died in their early childhood, a son and daughter surviving, they being George Williams of Beresford and Mrs. Eva Luken of Murdo. Mrs. Williams was for fifty years a member of the church called Deciples and was ever consistent and faithful in her faith. She will be missed by a large circle of friends as well as her relatives, who have the sincere sympathy of all in their great sorrow. Additional Comments: Amanda E. Mickel m.
