Wallace, Grandma Williams. Mrs Williams was 85 years of age . She leaves five children , 3 sons and 2 daughters, and a number of grandchildren and friends to mourn her passing. She had made her home with Mr and Mrs Wallace for several years. Her husband departed this life several years ago. Her health had been very feeble for several months. She was not permitted to visit much but was always proud to see old friends come in and talk with her , always so proud to see old friends come in. She expressed that she was ready to go and requested a few days before passing away that she wanted C.W. Bledsoe to carry her body to its last resting place in the wagon as he had done for her husband who passed on several years ago. This request was granted. Funeral services were held at the M.E. Church Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Scott. Pallbearers were E.J. Stokes, L.W.Madden, R.F. Meadow, Guy Davis, Merick Edwards, and Claude Edwards. The body was placed beside her husband under the sweet flowers placed by loving hands of those who loved her deeply to await the coming of our precious Lord on high. "
