NORTH PITTSTON--The passing away of Ambrose Williams on January 5, 1907, has brought only expressions of sadness and regret among his friends and neighbors. Mr. Williams was born in Pittston, April 29, 1835, and was one of seven children of Patrick and Mary Farnsworth Williams. With the exception of five years spent in Boston, Palmer and Hudson, Mass., where he was employed in piano manufactories, his life has been lived in this place upon the farm on which he was born.
Words can but feebly express the love and esteem in which he has been held during these years. A man of pronounced integrity, of honesty of purpose and of a deep spiritual nature, his example and influence on all with whom he came in contact was such that they could but feel it was good to know him. He was a life-long adherent of the Catholic faith, a member of St. Denis Church, Whitefield, and of his loyalty and faithfulness none could question. That his life was governed by a Power higher than earthly power was evidenced in his daily walk and habits. He was blessed with a talent for music, with a voice of power and sweetness, and of this did he gladly give for the pleasure of others, and wherever called upon and needed he was willing and ready to respond, not for money or praise, but that he might help and inspire in every good word and work. For several years he has been in failing health but he bore all weakness and suffering without complaint or murmur.
Married in early manhood to Miss Harriet P. Mayo of Grafton, Mass., their more than 50 years of wedded life has been one of deepest love and devotion. Eight children, five sons and three daughters, came to bless this union. With the exception of one, Miss Hattie, who passed away in young womanhood several years ago, all, with a widow are still living. Fred and Arthur, of California, George in Alaska, Mrs. Jerome Leonard, South Pittston, Mrs. William Grady, Whitefield, Augustus and Charles of this place. These with several grandchildren and one brother, David Williams, mourn his loss.
A slight testimony of the place he held in his neighbor's affection was shown in the beautiful flowers contributed and the large number in attendance at his funeral. The mass for the dead and truthful and consoling eulogistic remarks of Father Nelligan were given at St. Denis Church, Tuesday forenoon, Jan. 8. The bearers were Michael Doyle, Edward McGugin, James Nolan and John Doyle. The family have the sincere sympathy of all in their deep sorrow and loneliness.
