The funeral of Thomas Williams took place to-day at the Nickel Mine Episcopal 
church, in Bart township, this morning.  He died on Thursday, aged 75 years.  He 
was born in England in the same town that the late Captain Doble, who died 
several weeks ago, came from.  The two men were raised at the same place and 
came to America together.  Both were employed at the nickel mines for more than 
thirty years, and Mr. Williams was an underground boss up to the time that the 
mines suspended operations.  He was one of the founders of the Episcopal church.
