Death of Mrs. B. C. Guilliams

Mrs. B. C. Guilliams, of South township, died at Long Beach, Calif., on Wednesday of last week from heart trouble. The remains reached here Tuesday and on Wednesday were interred at Union Chapel, the deceased’s old pastor, Rev. W. W. Williams, conducting the funeral services. Only a few weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Guilliams made the journey to California for the purpose of bettering the latter’s health, but that salubrious climate failed to do for her that which was expected and she passed away as above stated. She leaves a large circle of friends who deeply mourn her.

She united in the Baptist church in Winterset, in 1887, of which she was a member at the time of her death.

For fourteen years she has been a sufferer from rheumatism, which about a month ago developed into dropsy, the direct cause of her death. She bore these infirmities with fortitude and was always cheerful and kind.

She leaves a husband, four children and ------- grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn her death.

The funeral services were held at Union Chapel Wednesday at 11 o’clock, conducted by Rev. W. W. Williams, of Mingo, and the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery near by.
