Notes:
The above transcription is from handwritten script entries on 2 pages torn from (presumably) a
Family Bible.  The pages (8_ ³ x 10_ ³) are old and well worn but legible.  The entries (except for the
last death) appear as though they were all written into the Record at one time.  The entries do not
have a clear ³c² in the surname ³McWilliams², appearing more like ³M Williams² instead.

The ³Lewistown True Democrat², issue of 20 Oct 1881, announced the death of 82-year old Esther
McWilliams, relict of Judge Jonathan McWilliams, in McVeytown, October 17, buried Spruce Creek. 
Another issue announced the death of John B. McWilliams, 54, brother of Samuel of McVeytown
and father of Walter; went west with his son in 1876 to mine near Mineral City, Colo.; died in Capital
City, 15 Sep 1877.
