WILLIAMS IS CLAIMED BY DEATH A deep pall of sorrow cast itself over Rison and community Sunday morning when the news went out that as teh day broke fiar and beautiful the angel of death claimed as it's own mr.s Mary Elvira Willimas, aged 62 years, wife of I.B. Williams. For sometime she had been n failing health and those who had watched with tender care were not surprised at her going, while the community at large received teh news with surprise. Funeral services were conducted at the Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon by her pastor, the Rev. A.N. Stanfield, pastor of the Baptist Church. The impressive services were attended by hundreds of sorrowing friends. Interment was made in Greenwood cemetery and a great mound of flowers nature's sweetest emblems of love and respect mark her last resting place. Mrs. Williams was before her marriage a Miss McMurtrey, a pioneer family of south Arkansas. On Sept. 29, 1881 she became the bride of I.B. Williams, also of an old and highly respected family of this section. To this union were born seven children, four daughters and three sons, all of whom survive except one son. The children are Hart Williams, of Beaumont, Tex., I.B. Jr., of San Anna, Texas; Misses Kathleen of Stamps, Manetta of Rison, Mary of Rison and Ruth of Near Ashville, NC, all of whom were here for the funeral. Her pastor made the following statement Tuesday morning. "She possessed faith in Christ and joined the Baptist Church at Rison in July, 1887. Since that time she has been a devoted Christian and known especially for her devotion to her family and gentle kindness to all whom she chanced to meet." "Thus star by star declines, Till all have passed away. As morning higher and higher shines to pure and perfect day: Nor sink those stars in empty night They hide themselves in Heaven's pure light." "Life's race well run, Life's work well done, Life's crown well won, Now comes rest."
