OBITUARY

Miss Emily Williams

Miss Emily Williams, a former well known resident of Hollidaysburg,
died on Monday last at her home in Bedford of a complication of
diseases.  Miss Williams was born at Hollidaysburg and was a daughter
of Lewis and Lydia Williams, her father being a prominent lawyer of
Hollidaysburg.  She was aged about 76 years and spent nearly all her
life at the old Williams homestead on Walnut street, now the residence
of Charles Beswick.  For the past ten years she had made her home at
Bedford with her sister, Mrs. J. F. Mickel.  Miss Williams was a woman
of refinement and education, having attended the Hollidaysburg public
schools and Birmingham seminary.  She was a member of the Presbyterian
church and was a good Christian woman who by reason of her fine
qualities, made many friends, all of whom will learn of her death with
the deepest regret.  She is survived only by one sister, Mrs. Mickel,
of Bedford.  The remains arrived here yesterday and were taken to the
undertaking rooms of Thomas B. McFarland, the services having been
held at Bedford.  Interment will be made in the Presbyterian cemetery
this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
