WILLIAM RICHARD WILLIAMS. RUTLAND, RUTLAND COUNTY, VERMONT.
Following an operation at the Rutland City Hospital, which was performed last week Tuesday, Saturday morning the death of William Glyn Williams occurred which was a shock to his many friends and acquaintances in this village, where he had resided for over eight years and was well liked by a large circle.Deceased was born in Tanygrisiau, North Wales, nearly fifty two years ago, was one of a large family who had received good bringing up and of whom only two sisters and one brother remain and they are now living in this country.
He had always enjoyed good health, this last sickness only lasting three weeks, but he was a great sufferer during that time, evidently his case puzzling the local physicians and a specialist, Dr. Pond of Rutland, decided it was appendicitis and kidney trouble. Mr. Williams was a true friend and a man who will be greatly missed in many ways in Poultney.
The survivors are his wife, six sons and two daughters, who reside here and will receive the sympathy of all. The funeral was largely attended Tuesday afternoon from the Welsh Church, many surrounding villages being well represented. The Revs. J. W. Morris, John D. Owen of Fair Haven and Thomas J. Jones of Granville spoke at the service and all paid high tribute to the life he led in the community.
The bearers were Griffith Griffiths, Isaac Davies, David Hughes, Rees Price, John M. Thomas and Thomas Closs Williams and internment was in the Poultney Cemetery. Many handsome floral offerings covered, the casks among which was a beautiful wreath presented by the employees of the Manhattan shirt shop, where the deceased's daughter is employed. The choir rendered several selections in the church, while Miss Mary Hughes was a beautiful solo. At the graveside the choir sang a Welsh selection most effectively. The family greatly appreciate the kindness shown them by all throughout the time of their trouble.
