Obituary
Unidentified Newsclipping - 1895
WILLIAMS.--Almira, eldest daughter of George and Polly Eddy Moon, was born in Floyd, Oneida County, New York, February 25, 1817, and died July 16, 1895. July 30, 1833, she was married to John Williams. The next year they removed to Utica, New York, where she has resided since. Mr. Williams died January 3, 1873. They had five children--three sons and two daughters--four of whom survive her, besides eight grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. Mrs. Williams experienced religion at an early age, and has lived a consistent Christian life ever since. She instructed her children early in the truths of the Scriptures. Her influence and example were always salutary, and her mind dwelt much on spiritual things. In her early days she was active in the church in many lines of work. SHE SANG IN THE CHOIR, was a teacher in the Sabbath school, and a faithful attendant at class meeting. For a number of years on account of poor health she was not able to attend church often, but her Bible was her constnant companion. Her health had been failing for some time, but she hoped she might recover, though she was submissive to God's will. There was no murmuring during the entire sickness, and her death was simply falling asleep in Jesus. She was the oldest member of First Methodist Episcopal Church, Utica, New York.
