MRS. WILLIAMS DEAD
Another shock by news of the sudden death of one of Platte City's citizens came Monday morning when the news that Mrs. D.O.C. Williams had died Sunday night found its way from person to person. Mrs. Williams has been in poor health and Saturday morning was taken to a hospital in St Joseph. An operation was deemed the only chance for life, which was performed Sunday, but too late, Mrs. Williams dying that night.
Harriet Ann Carnes was born in Kansas, December 8, 1874. She came with her parents, when a small child, to Missouri. The family located at Denver, Worth county, where she grew to womanhood. In the Methodist church at that place, on July 4, 1897, she was united in marriage to D.O.C. Williams. To them one child, a daughter, was born, who blessed the home only 10 months.
Mrs. Williams was converted to the christian faith and united with the Methodist church in her home town in early childhood. Coming with her husband to Platte City a number of years ago, she transferred her church membership here and at the time of her death, Sunday, November 16, 1930, was a member of the Platte City M.E. Church, South.
Mrs. Williams was of a retiring disposition, finding more pleasure in her home and loving better her home duties, than mixing with the outside world or participating in its social activities She was hospitable and enjoyed having her friends at her home, entertaining them always with an unfeigned welcome and pleasure. To her may well be ascribed those fine characteristics of a good neighbor, a faithful and loving wife, a true friend.
She leaves to mourn her departure and miss her companionship and counsels, her husband, D.O.C. Williams; an adopted son, Donald; two sisters, Mrs. C. W. Cunningham of Rayville and Mrs. J. B. Mailer of San Carlos, California; one brother, E. R. Carnes of Madison, Wisconsin, and many other relatives, as well as a large circle of friends here and at other places. Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist Church Tuesday afternoon by her pastor, Rev. J. L. Roberts. Interment in the Riverview cemetery, the funeral being under direction of L.F. Rollins, mortician.
