Although she had been ill for the past five years with a complication of diseases, and when a general break down developed and hope for her recovery was abandoned, her remarkable vitality prolonged the life of Mrs. Williams for some time. Ten days ago the end became apparent, but with the characteristics of her soldier father, she being the youngest daughter of the late General John A. McClernand, she fought with determination and the quality of endurance to the very end. Remarkable patience and fortitude were characteristics of her illness.

On Jan. 21, 1895 her marriage to Edward Williams, now assistant chief secretary of the Springfield election commission, was celebrated. While her death has been daily expected the loss of Mrs. Williams will be seriously felt by her many friends in this city.
