Miss Mary Ann Williams died at the home of her sister-in-law,   Mrs. Elmer Williams on Wood Street, early on Tuesday morning. She   has been in poor health for some time following a fall that   fractured one shoulder, and pneumonia developed. Funeral services   at the home on Thursday afternoon were in charge of Rev. Victor   Keiser. The pall­bearers were Frank McClain, Jesse McMains,   Earl McNutt, Darwin Mc­Nutt, Ray Sharp und John Gilliland.   Miss Williams was the daughter of Daniel and Margaret Penny   Williams and was born near Greencastle, December 12, 1857. The   family moved to a farm near Waveland, and when the father entered   the service during the Civil War, they moved to Waveland. The   family consisted of five boys: William, John, Charles, Clay and   Elmer; and four girls: Mary, Margaret, Millie and Ella, of whom   all have passed away but Ella, of Waveland. The mother died in   1894, and as the father was an invalid, she became the head of   the household, a trust which she faithfully carried out. The   father died in 1897. She joined the Methodist Church in 1886   under the pastorate of Rev. L. S. Buckles. While of a quiet and   undemonstrative disposition, she was an affectionate daughter and   sister, a good neighbor, and an earnest Christian. Among those   from a distance attending the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. George   Wiatt of Terre Haute, Mrs. William Williams and daugh­ter,   Lena, of Crawfordsville, and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Porter and son,   James, of Portland Mills. - transcribed by kbz
