  Mrs. Williams Dead. - Mrs. Bertha E. Williams, wife of J. B. 
Williams, died at her home on Spring street, Monday afternoon, of 
consumption, aged 36 years, 9 months and 22 days.  About one year ago 
the deceased had a severe attack of pneumonia from the effects of which 
she never fully recovered and during the past summer she suffered from 
pulmonary troubles, having had several hemorrhages during the summer 
and fall.  While closely confined to the house for a long time she was 
still able to walk across the room or from one room to another a week 
before her death.
  By this sad occurrence a bereaved husband and three children, two 
boys and one girl are left to lament their loss.  The home circle has 
lost its centre of attraction and the dearest treasure of the 
household.  The only consolation that can bring balm to the broken 
hears is that borne on the golden wings of hope that it is well with 
her.  Then follows that faith which pierces the dark clouds of anguish 
and doubt, magnifying hope into an assurance and conceding the victory 
of a blessed immortality over the tribulations of this life and the 
final passage through the vale of death.  Mrs. Williams was a 
consistent Christian - a member of the Presbyterian church - during her 
life and died the death of the righteous.  It is well with her.  The 
funeral services were conducted by Dr. S. M. Moore, Wednesday morning 
at 10 o'clock, and the last solemn rites paid the dead, after which the 
interment took place in the cemetery.
