With her husband, she lived on various farms in Dallas and Madison counties until his death in 1927. Since that time she had made her home in Winterset.
Mrs. Williams joined the Methodist church at an early age. After her marriage she became a member of the De Soto Church of Christ later uniting with Early Chapel. Since coming to Winterset, she had been a member of the Winterset Church of Christ.
