Obituary
Died at Franklin Grove, Ill., Feb. 21, 1893 of typhoid pneumonia,
Mrs. Harry P. Williamson, aged 22 years and 6 months.
Grace Graves was born Aug. 7, 1871. She was married to Harry P.
Williamson Oct. 6, 1890, and died leaving two little girls to
their father’s care. She graduated from the Franklin Grove
high school with the class of ’87, and afterwards spent one
year in the State Normal School at Bloomington, Ill.
Grace had an unusually cheerful and amiable disposition, and all
who came in contact with her beautiful character loved her for
her sweet charity, that spoke or thought ill of no one. As the
eldest child of loving parents, the idolized sister, the devoted
wife and loving mother, she proved herself one of the noblest of
God’s creatures - a woman in the highest sense of the word.
She suffered intensely the last few days of her life, but bore
her suffering with such a degree of patience and fortitude as to
almost deceive the loving eyes that were watching so closely,
into the belief that death could not be so near. Her disease
baffled the skill of the physician and the most careful nursing
of a loving mother, and passed away suddenly but quietly on
Friday morning at 11 o’clock.
--
Mr. Harry Williamson returned Tuesday evening, from Illinois,
where he had been in attendance at the bedside of his wife, who
succumbed to the effects of typhoid pneumonia.

The Methodist Messenger:--Schaller is rapidly rising. Bro.
BROWN preaches every Sunday to crowded houses. The revival
resulted in more than a score of conversions, and the interest
still continues. A furnace in the church, and a new stable for
the parsonage are among the improvements of the year. Schaller is
not merely going to be, it is now one of our best charges.
ROLL OF HONOR. The following pupils have been neither absent nor
tardy during the month ending Feb. 24:
Primary, Guy BROWN.
