Liberty Weekly Tribune
  Died, in Clay county, Mo., on Monday evening, Oct. 1st, 1883, Kittie 
Williams, daughter of Henry and Amanda Williams, aged 34 years.
  Miss Kittie was an invalid six years, four of which she was totally blind.  
Previous to her afflictions she was one of those sweet dutiful daughters, who 
won the admiration of all who knew her, and after her affliction her circle of 
friends and sympathizers increased until a whole community were anxious 
inquirers of her condition.  At times her sufferings would seem to others 
almost beyond endurance, but she with patience bore it all, knowing that "the 
Lord chasteneth whom he loveth."  Though she never embraced christianity in the 
form of being buried with the Saviour in baptism, she loved the house of the 
Lord and the Lord's people, and after being deprived of the privilege of 
attending church loved that christians would meet and pray with her, 
exclaiming, "How beautiful and consoling are christian prayers.
   May the christian mother, dear father, loving sisters, and dear friends 
realize that her sufferings on earth are terminated; may they feel assured that 
she has gone to rest, and that they will meet her again "in that sun-bright 
clime," where parting shall be no more.  She was on Wednesday morn buried in 
the cemetery at Liberty Church by many friends, who assembled to pay their last 
tribute of love to the departed.  FRIEND.
