WILLIAMS, MARY L.
(20 Mar 1902, Elk City Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
We are pained to chronicle the death of Mrs. Mary L. Williams at Sayre, O.
T., where for three months she has been under treatment for perotinous
edema, from which she had suffered for three and one-half years.  She
passed away Tuesday morning, March 18, 1902, at 1:40, surrounded by her
loving husband, relatives and friends, who mourn her departure and loved
her for her noble character and mild, pleasant disposition.
She was born in Lynn county, Kan., at the old Barclay homesite 4 April
1874; married February 15, 1895, to B. F. Williams, and moved to Oklahoma
in January, 1900.  The remains were taken to Bushong, Kan., accompanied by
her husband, mother and sister, where the funeral services were held.  She
was laid to rest beside her father at Americus, Kan.   Besides her
sorrowing husband, she leaves a mother, Mrs. Ephraim Barclay of Kansas
City, one sister, Mrs. L. M. Wadsworth of Kansas City and four brothers,
George and Henry Barclay, Grand Junction, Iowa, Thomas Barclay, Sayre,
Okla., and James Barclay, Grimes, Okla.
(27 Mar 1902, Thursday, Elk City Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Mr. J. Barclay and family were called to Sayre last Monday to attend the
bedside of his dying sister, Mrs. Frank William (sic).  Mr. Barclay has
the sympathy of all during his great sorrow and bereavement of one so
dearly beloved as a sister, but let us be content, for God is good and
will comfort us in time of trouble.
Mrs. Frank Williams departed this life Monday night, March 17, 1902.  The
remains were taken to Kansas for interment.  Mrs. Williams was a good
woman and greatly beloved by all who knew her.
