EMERY, Emery County, Utah, Jan. 11, 1897 died January 8th, Stephen Williams, formerly of Ephraim, Sanpete County; born in Devonshire, England, May 31st, 1816.

Stephen William was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1846; emigrated with his wife and family in the fall of 1853; came in the sailing vessel Windermore, Captain Daniel Carnes being the manager of the vessel; came across the Plains with ox teams (Dr. Richards the Captain of the Company), arriving in Salt Lake City until the "move" in 1867, when the Saints were counseled to move south; located in Ephraim, Sanpete County, went unflinchingly through all the persecutions of the Saints since that day; was a member of the High Priests Quorum for many years. He was never known to complain about the trials and persecutions, nor to find fault with the servants of the Lord. He and his wife moved to Emery, Emery County, Utah in 1885 on account of his health, as he was badly crippled with rheumatism, which had also affected his brain; and as most of his sons lived here, he could be better cared for. Towards the end he suffered very much, and the Lord saw fit on January 8th to release him and take him home to rest his poor crippled body.

He was buried in the Emery Cemetery on Sunday, January 10th. His remains were followed by a large cortege of relatives and friends.

He was in his 81st year; was father of ten sons and four daughters, 72 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren. All of those living are faithful members in the Church. Mrs. Etta Williams.
