Mrs. Lydia M. Willys, widow of David Willys, and mother of John N. Willys of New York and Toledo, died suddenly at her home in this city on Thursday. Her death which was caused by heart trouble, was unexpected.
Lydia M. North was born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on September 15, 1846, daughter of Robinson D. and Ora Chatfield North, who moved to East Bloomfield when she was a baby. On November 5, 1867 she was married at the Congregational church in East Bloomfield to David Smith Willys of Canandaigua, and had resided here since that time. Mr. Willys died on January 16, 1897.
Mrs. Willys was an active member of the Presbyterian church and its auxiliaries, and of the Canandaigua WCTU, and had contributed liberally to their support. Besides the son John N. Willys, she leaves two daughters, Mrs. James Castle Saye of this city, and Mrs. Mary A. Sleght of Rochester, four grandchildren, Jarvis W. Sleght, John N. Sleght, and Mrs. Lawrence O. DeVoll of Rochester, and Mrs. Luis DeAguire of Argentina, the former Miss Virginia Willys, who was presented at court in London just prior to her marriage in that city last month, also a great granddaughter, Marilyn DeVoll.
