Williams was born in Centre Co.; July 4, 1861 and died April 14, 1891. She was married to W.A. Austin at Milesburg, Pa. Aug. 6, 1885; three days thereafter the young couple came to Hoovertown where they have since resided. Two children, Zella now aged 5 and Mary aged 3 and one third years with stricken husband survive the departed wife and mother. Mrs. Austin was ill but a few days with the prevailing lung trouble, and the whole community were dazed by her sudden death. Services were held at the residence on Tuesday evening by Rev. S. Ham, C.I. Avery Director and the Odd Fellows of which Mr. Austin was a member, in attendance. Wednesday morning the sorrowing ones accompanied the remains to Martha Furnace for burial. Mrs. Austin was a member of the Baptist church and for her the future held no fears. For the husband, so suddenly bereft and with the tender and helpless children, the sympathy of the community is surely given. And of both of these who have passed on before it may be said: Their memory long shall live alone in our hearts like mellow light that brought above the fallen sun and dwells in heaven half the night.
