WILLIAMS, CARRIE, MISS - Sulphur Springs, May 3, 1886 - Today the remains of
Miss Carrie Williams, whose death occurred in Waco, at Baylor University, last
Sunday, reached the city. She was a charming young lady, beautiful and
accomplished and truly a favorite in society. Her body was met at the deport
by a procession composed of pupils of both schools, the Sabbath school of
which she was a member, and many friends. Five hundred people composed the
procession, and as the hearse drove from the depot it was showered with
flowers. The young ladies death saddens the community and brings the shadows
of a bitter sorrow to her household. (The Texas New Era, May 8, 1886,
Longview)
