Her parents were pioneer residents of Emmetsburg, coming here in 1876, with her father being a shoemaker by trade. Florence attended Emmetsburg High School and was a clerk for a year in the Scott Millinery store. Later she was employed at the Knoblauch Ready-To-Wear store until her marriage to Arthur James Williams on December 2nd, 1901 at Webb, Iowa. Their first child, Myrtle E. was born on March 4th, 1903. Estell Arthur was born in Emmetsburg on May 10th, 1906. Their third child, John B. was born on December 20th, 1911 and their last Mary L. was born on August 9th, 1914. For 36 years, Mr. & Mrs. Williams lived on their farm southwest of Emmetsburg. In 1936, they moved to their home at 1103 Lawler Street. In 1948, Mrs. Williams joined the sales staff of the Woodward Company, returning to the same business location where she worked for Knoblauch's before her marriage. Living on the farm, however, she gained an interest in rural activities that she never lost. She was active in 4-H club work and the Rural Women's group, contributing generously of her time and effort in their projects. She served as county chairman of both organizations. She was also an active and loyal member of the Pythian Sisters, of which she was a long-time member and a faithful member of the Trinity Church. In a quiet way through the years, she looked out for the welfare of others, especially girls lacking the influences of home, whom she befriended in many instances. On more than one occasion, she took these girls into her home and gave them a mother's care. In 1951, Arthur and Florence observed their fiftieth wedding anniversary. Florence suffered ailing health in the fall of 1954 and went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota on October 6th. She underwent surgery at that time and then went to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Myrtle Leverenz in Canby, Minnesota to recover. She returned to Rochester for another surgery on November 11th, but her condition failed to improve resulting in her death on December 9th, 1954 in Emmetsburg. She was one to make light of her own troubles and was cheerful and uncomplaining even in her last illness, then, as always, thinking more of others than of herself.
