(20 Dec 1928, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Mary Susan West was born in Navarro county, Texas, near the present site
of Corsicana, September 24, 1868.  At the age of four years she moved with
her parents to Stevens county, where she was reared and was married
December 24, 1885 to J. J. Williams.  In 1892 they moved to Oklahoma in
the Ural neighborhood where they have resided for the past thirty-seven
years.  To this union nine children was born, two of whom died in infancy.
 With the exception of Clarence and Willis, of Detroit, Michigan, all of
them were at her bedside when she passed into the Great Beyond.  The
children are:  Mrs. Celeste Britton, of Wichita, Kansas; Mrs. Mary Grove
and Ruth Williams of Pampa, Texas; Naomi Williams of the University
Hospital at Oklahoma City; Willis and Clarence of Detroit, Michigan; and
Mrs. Lucille Redman and O. O. Williams of Elk City.  Two sisters, Mrs.
Ellen Enfield and Mrs. J. P. Nichols, of Abilene, Texas, attended the
funeral.
Mrs. Williams had been ill for the past year, although was not confined to
her bed and had been able to visit her children frequently.  It was almost
on the eve of her departure on a Thanksgiving vacation to be spent with
her two daughters at Pampa, Texas, that she was stricken with pneumonia
from which she never recovered, and died five days later.  Continued
illness had drained her vitality to the extent that she was unable to
respond to treatment.
Funeral services were held at the Ural church with Rev. Fuche, pastor of
the Waco Star Primitive Baptist church in charge.  Interment was made at
Ural cemetery.
A husband and seven children will mourn the departure of a beloved wife
and mother.
