The funeral of Oliver Williams, whose death occurred on Monday, February 24th at Saranac, N.Y., was held at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Williams of Farmersville Station, on Thursday, February 27, at 11 A.M.
Oliver Williams was born in the town of Freedom, Sept. 30, 1890. In 1913 he went to work as brakeman on the B.R. & P. R.R. and on July 5, 1916 he met with an accident while at work on the train, in which his upper jaw bone was broken. He was taken to the hospital in Rochester where he remained four months, when he was advised by his physician to travel in the South for his health. In January he went South and returned the following April, then in the latter part of May he went to Saranac for treatment of tuberculosis, which had developed from his injuries, where he remained until his death. He was of a genial disposition, with always a smile for every one, and was very patient all through his illness. He had won many true friends, and had the very best of care. His parents and brothers and sisters all visited him at different times, and he was hoping to come home for a visit in May. About a week ago he was taken worse and his brother, Arnold, went to him and remained until he passed away. Oliver was a member of the Loyal Order of Moose, and of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
The funeral was largely attended. Rev. Norris of Farmersville Station officiated, assisted by Rev. Hayward of Freedom. The bearers were members of the Brotherhood, several of whom were in attendance from Rochester. The burial took place in the cemetery at Freedom.
He leaves to mourn their loss, besides his parents, three brothers and four sisters, who have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. The flowers were many and very lovely among which was a beautiful wreath presented by the members of the Brotherhood and another from the employees of the milk plant at this place.
Among those who attended the funeral from a distance were, Rev. L.R. Williams of Ithaca, Mr. and Mrs. Lott Smith, Mrs. Thomas, Wm. H. Williams and Irving Leonard of Buffalo, Mrs. Cummings and Mrs. Merchant of Rock Glen, Mr. Howard Hurlburt of Fillmore and many from surrounding towns.
The members of the family appreciate very much the kindness and sympathy of their many friends and wish to express their sincere thanks to them all. Also for the lovely flowers, the singers and those who furnished carriages.
