The funeral services were held at the Williams home near Cedar Point, Brother Bess, of the Christian church of Florence, conducting the services. The remains were then taken to the Christian Church in Florence where Rev. O L Cook, pastor of the First Christian church of Topeka, preached the sermon and where the Florence choir furnished the music. The remains were then tenderly laid to rest in the Florence cemetery beside the grave of the deceased's husband and daughter Alice. The paul-bearers at this service were George R. Williams, June R.

Mrs. Williams whose maiden name was Elizabeth Embree was converted and became a member of the Christian church while still a young girl. She had continued thru out her life a faithful member and a woman of the truest christian character. Hewr life was devoted to her family and her friends and to these her tender love and solicitude knew no bounds. Altho six children were born to her and her husband, het two preceeded them to the land where life is eternal. Her husband who died in the year 1885 left her a widow and since that time she had made her home with her children.
For many years she had been in poor health but she bore her infirmity patiently and her cheerful nature made her one of the brighest and most optomistic members of the family. Truly, she was a kind and loving mother and wife whose death will be heavily felt by the sorrowing children and friends she leaves behind.
There is no death what seems so is transition
This life of Mortal Breath
Is but a suburb of the Life Elysian
Whose portal we call Death.
