MARGARET P. WILLIAMS. NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

Born in Bethesda, North Wales, November 6th, 1846, daughter of William and Margaret Davies George and sister of the late W. W. George of Utica, New York and Isaac W. George, who is still living.

The family came to America in 1851 on a ship that took 13 weeks to cross the Atlantic. They arrived in Boston, Massachusetts, and from there they sailed to Bangor, Maine and then moved to Brownsville, Maine which required a journey of 40 miles by "logs." Here they set up a home and stayed for two years. They then moved to Fairhaven, Vermont and then to Northfield, Vermont where the father opened a slate quarry. Here Mrs. George became ill, and the doctor suggested they move back to Maine, which they did. Later they moved to Granville, New York, and the family remained there for many years.

There she married her dear and faithful husband for many years, Mr. William P. Williams. Both were united in marriage by the Rev Samuel Jones, January 13th, 1866.

In 1879 Margaret and family moved to Bangor, Pennsylvania. Her dear sister had a sad life, burying 6 children and her husband. Margaret's husband died February 7th, 1908, and she later lived with her children. She was what she thought and was known by her works. Her good name and character and her goodness was on the tongues of many people. We have every reason to think Mrs. Price Williams is with God, and all who knew her had nothing but good to say on her behalf.

A faithful member of the Welsh M. E. Church for many years, this was her testimony: She had faith and the knowledge that she was going home to God. She never stopped loving her family. She worked and planned to raise the childen. Mrs. Williams died in Palmerton at the home of her daughter, Margaret Fleming, on January 27th, 1922, at the age of 75. She was buried in Bangor January 30th by the Rev. John T. Williams, assisted by the Palmerton preacher.

She is survived by four children: Wm. H. Williams, Bangor; Mrs. E. H. Thompson, Ridgefield, Conn; Mrs. Louis Roberts, Mount Joy, Pa. [and Margaret Fleming, above] in addition to 16 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Mrs. Williams set an example for young mothers by her good character. She always said her saddest day was the day of her mother's funeral. May her dust rest in peace.
