From Leon Journal-Reporter ? Newspaper:
DIED - At the home of her son, G. W. Lushbaugh, one mile south of Woodland, February 10th (1893), Mrs. Edith Williams, aged 73 years 8 months and 5 days. She was a member of the A. C. Church of this place and was a kind, patient, christian woman, and a loving mother. She leaves 2 sons and several grandchildren, who will sadly miss her. Words of comfort were spoken by brother John Massey, and she was interred in the Lentz Cemetery to await the resurrection.
