         OBITUARY
         
         On the morning of December 29th, EDWIN WILLIAMS, an
       old resident of this vicinity passed away from earth.
       For several years he had been in poor health and was
       at times a great sufferer; but with rare patience he
       endured all to the end. During the last days of his
       life he was loved and cared for by his daughter and
       her husband, Mr. and Mrs. ALBERT LAKER.
       
         MR. WILLIAMS was born at Great Barrington, Mass.,
       Nov. 25th, 1814. When seven years of age he came with
       his parents to N.Y. State, where he lived until he
       came to Michigan 43 years ago.
       
         When a young man he accepted Christ as his Saviour
       and Master. On coming to Homer he united by letter
       with the Presbyterian church. He was a quiet and un-
       assuming Christian gentleman; earnest in his faith
       and bright in his hope. The highest esteem was accorded
       him by all who knew him.
       
         Two sons and a daughter survive him. ERASTUS, who
       resides at Alagan, WILLIARD whose home is in Butler,
       and MRS. ALBERT LAKER.
       
         The funeral service was conducted at his late home
       by his pastor, Rev. H. E. Davis, after which, the
       body was laid away in our village cemetery by the
       side of that of his wife who preceeded him by 23
       years to the heavenly land.
