The Standard of Raleigh,  May 13, 1863
The Standard of Raleigh,  May 13, 1863
   DIED of dropsy, in Sampson County on the 13th of Aril,1863, at the 
residence of her daughter, MRS. KILTY DAUGHTRY, MRS. ELIZABETH WILLIAMS, in 
the 74th year of her age. MRS. WILLIAM was a strong, athletic woman and even 
down to her old age, in answer to her prayers, was not rendered helpless, but 
ate a hearty breakfast, walked out doors, and died the same day at about
 1 o'clock, sitting in a chair. Thus ends the earthly career of one whose life 
has been an ornament to society and especially to the Primitive Baptist 
Church, of which she has been a worthy member about 34 years, ever adorning 
the doctrine of her Saviour by a godly walk and conversation, and in the 
evening of her life, a few minutes before her death, she expressed her 
willingness to die, if it was the Lord's will to call her hence. She is gone, 
leaving a numberous posterity, friends and acquaintances, who, if they would 
follow her example of a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, might ere 
long strike hands on the banks of eternal deliverance.
