Word came last Saturday morning of the death of Miss Avis Williams at Long
Beach, California, whither she had gone about a year and a half ago in hopes
of regaining her health that had been seriously impaired for a number of
years. Although friends and relatives knew that her condition was quite
serious yet her death comes as a great shock and grief. Miss Williams lived
in Akron and vicinity practically all her life, having come here when a
child with her father and three brothers from Ottumwa, Iowa, where she was
born. They settled on the farm four miles east of Akron and the little girl
endeavored in every way to take the place of the mother who had died a few
years earlier, and make a home pleasant and comfortable for her father and
brothers. On growing to womanhood she became a teacher in the public
schools, teaching for several years in Portland township and later in the
Akron schools. Ill health compelled her to give up this work and later as
her health permitted she did nursing in the Kerr and Cilley hospital, also
acting as bookkeeper. In any work she undertook she was thorough and
conscientious and her gentle, sympathetic nature made lifelong friends of
all who made her acquaintance. Care and thoughtfulness for others was the
keynote of her character and a host of true friends regret her untimely
death. The body will be brought here for burial and is expected to arrive
Thursday morning. The funeral will be held at the Baptist church of which
she was a lifelong member. Interment will be in Riverside cemetery beside
her father.
