KINGSLEY: (Special Correspondence)
It is with a feeling of sorrow that we are called upon to record the
death of Mr. J.T. Williams. After several years of suffering he was
relieved by death, Thursday, November 27th, 1890. Our national
Thanksgiving anniversary was to this grief stricken family a day of
sorrow and mourning, but while they grieve for the loved one, who is
gone they can but rejoice that his suffering is over. Mr. Williams was
born in England in 1823 and came to America in 1847. He has been in the
tailoring business in Kingsley for some time. All who knew his quiet
peaceful ways were sure to honor and respect him. His aged invalid
widow has the sympathy of all, and although she must continue her
journey alone, it will not be long until she too will be called. The
funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Snyder.
