Wednesday, May 22, 1878


                 DIED.
                 
              WILLIAMS - In Angola, May 17, 1878, at the residence
            of her son, Prof. L. R. WILLIAMS, Mrs. LAURA A. WILLIAMS;
            aged 71 years, 1 month and 14 days.
              Deceased was born in Pompey, Onondaga county, New York,
            April 3, 1807. Her maiden name was KETCHUM; she was mar-
            ried to HEMAN E. WILLIAMS in 1827, and removed with him,
            to the West in October, 1844, settling near Flint, this
            county (then known as Thompson's Mills), and in the fol-
            lowing spring removed to Branch county, Mich. Two years
            later they returned to the East and remained there till
            1867, then returned to Michigan. Her husband died at
            Coldwater, Mich., in 1869, after which the widow had her
            home with her children, remaining in that State till the
            fall of 1875, when she came to this town and resided with
            her son up to the time of her death. Mrs. WILIAMS was the
            mother of five children - one daughter and four sons. The
            youngest son is dead, the daughter resides in New York,
            two of the sons in Coldwater, Mich., and the other one is
            Superintendent of the public schools of this place. Mrs.
            WILLIAMS had for many years been a faithful member of the
            Baptist Church, though during the latter years of her life,
            since her last removal to the West, she had been without a
            home in the Church. However she still retained the letter
            she had brought from the society with whom she had a name
            and as long as her health would permit was always in
            attendance at devine services.
