MRS. CATHERINE E. WILLIAMS. REMSEN, ONEIDA COUNTY, NEW YORK.
April 13th, 1889, at Remsen, New York, Mrs. Catherine E. Williams, in her 79th year.Mrs. Williams was born at Llanuwchlyn, Merionethshire, North Wales, September 10th, 1810. She was married to Mr. Edward E Williams June 1st, 1838, at Llanuwchlyn.
April 23rd, 1851, they left with their family for America. They settled first at Holland Patent, New York. In 1854 they removed to Floyd, where they remained until 1859, when they moved to Fair Haven, Rutland County, Vermont. In 1861 they moved to Remsen, New York, where on October 29th, 1876, Mr. Williams died, and where Mrs. Williams remained at the old homestead until her death at the above date.
A son and daughter survive to mourn her loss, Mr. Willian E. Williams, wholesale marble dealer, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Mrs. James J. Williams, of Blissville, Rutland County, Vermont.
Mrs. Williams was a lady of more than ordinary intelligence and force of character. She enjoyed reading very much, especially reading her Bible, and her Christian life and experience was adorned by many virtues and graces, and although the call was sudden - her sickness being very brief we have reason to believe that she was fully prepared for the change.
The funeral took place on Tuesday, April 16th, at the C. M. Church, Remsen, Revs. E. C. Evans, E. G. Williams, J. Seth Jones, Henry Thomas, Edward Davies, J. F. Humphreys and T. T. Davies taking part in the services. The remains were interred in Penycaerau Cemetery.
