WILLIAMS.--Julia Palmer Williams was born in the town of Hannibal, New York, March 18, 1833, and died in Jordan, New York, February 1, 1896. She is survived by her husband, to whom she was married in 1851, and by two sons, both of whom are practicing physicians, one in Jordan, and the other in New York. Until about eight years ago, their life was passed on a farm in Hannibal, within sight of her birth place and childhood home. At that time they went to live with their son, Dr. M. J. Williams, at Rose Valley, until the other son had completed his medical course and located in Clyde, when they went there to make a home for him. Upon the removal of this son to New York they came to Jordan, and have since had a pleasant abiding place and tender care in the home of their son, who had removed from Rose Valley to this village. While a young girl she began the Christian life and became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church at Martville, New York. She remained a true, faithful Christian to the end, training her children for Christ and the Church. They responded to this teaching. One son died a Christian seventeen years ago, and the two sons living are members and workers in the church. For the last few years she had been an invalid from paralysis. For over a year she had not been able to speak, owing to paralysis of the vocal organs. But during these years she has been cared for by her daughter-in-law with all the tenderness and thoughtfulness of a daughter. As she breathed her last, her husband, sitting by her bedside, uttered a tribute that speaks volumes for her character and work, coming as it did from the one who knew her best. He said, "She was always faithful." That was the last word that was said of her as she closed her eyes to earthly things. And may we not think of this as the prelude of the words that greeted her upon the other side. "Well done, good and faithful servant....Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord"?
