Williams, Elizabeth Williams nee Erlewine
Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, December 4, 1929
Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, aged 78 years, widow of the late Leander Williams, died early Sunday morning at the family home at Round Bottom. She had not been in rugged health for a year or two and last fall was stricken with paralysis from which she made partial recovery and was able to help herself from her bed to the chair in which she spent most of each day.
Saturday she became seriously ill again and death ensued in a few hours apparently due to an attack of acute indigestion, in spite of all that could be done for her relief, at 2:30 o’clock Sunday morning, December 1st.
Mrs. Williams was a daughter of Jacob and Anna Erlewine and was born near Cameron, Ohio, on September 15, 1851, being at the time of her death, 78 years, 2 months and 16 days of age. She grew to womanhood there and on October 25, 1873 she was united in marriage to Leander Williams. They spent practically their entire married life on what is now the home farm and where he died four years ago last November.
A family of seven children was born to them, one son dying in infancy. The surviving children, all of whom were present at the funeral are; George H. Williams, Vernon G. Williams and Miss Ella Williams of Round Bottom; Mrs. Will Lapp and Mrs. C.E. Eagon, of East Liverpool, and Mrs. Charles H. McGrath of Warren, Ohio. She is also survived by one brother and three sisters; David Erlewine, of Beallsville; Miss Louisa Erlewine of Wheeling, W.Va.; Mrs. Ernest Echols, of Dover, Minn.; and Mrs. Mary Beard of Ypsilanti, Mich. There are also eight grandchildren.
Mrs. Williams became a member of the Church of Christ at Cameron when a young woman and later she and her husband transferred their membership to the congregation at Salem where they were faithful attendants so long as health permitted. She took her church vows seriously and her purpose was to live to be worthy the great sacrifice made for all mankind. Home, church and family were her great interests and to be wife, mother, and a Christian constitutes a program, big enough and broad enough to engage the highest ability and most earnest consecration of any woman, as was aid by the minister at the funeral service in amplification of his text from Solomon describing the perfect woman.
And the passing often found sanctuary under her roof, home hospitality being ever a part of her interests and Christian duty. Positive in conviction industrious always, friendly by nature and loyal to family and friends, she will be greatly missed in the community where she resided for over half a century.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon. After a prayer at the home by Minister J.V.A. Traylor of the Church of Christ at Woodsfield, the body was taken to Salem Church of Christ where final obsequies were conducted by Minister Traylor, followed by interment in the family lot in Salem cemetery. Despite inclement weather and unusually bad road conditions, many neighbors and friends paid a last tribute of respect to her memory.
Card of Thanks-We desire to thank most sincerely all who so kindly assisted us in both word and deed during the recent illness and at the time of the death of our dear mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Williams. We are deeply grateful. The Children
