BESSIE MOORE WILLIAMS

MRS. W.D. WILLIAMS

   The death of Mrs. Bessie Moore Williams of this town, in her thirty-first 
year, which occurred on Wednesday afternoon of this week, was surrounded by 
circumstances of unusual sadness, the husband and four little children being 
bereaved by the greatest sorrow which can come to a home.  Mrs. Williams had 
lived here for a number of years as a girl and was a young woman of unusually 
charming personality, returning to Franklin to make her home several months 
ago.  With practically every member of the family ill, she was taken from 
them, leaving an infant and three other children aged seven, five and two 
years, respectively.  She is also survived by three sisters, Mrs. Ed. White 
of Norfolk, Mrs. Fred Buck of Butterworth and Mrs. George Mann of New Jersey 
and one brother, Mr. Harry Moore of Norfolk.

   The funeral services were conducted yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock by 
Rev. J.A. Chapman of the High Street M.E. Church, pastor of the deceased, 
with interment in Poplar Spring Cemetery.
