Obituary - Mrs. Mary Williamson
Mary Eliza Williamson, daughter of Samuel and Sarah Ann Adams was born in Indiana, March 22, 1842, and died at her home in Earlham, Iowa, Jan. 15, 1911. She came with her parents to Davis county, Iowa, and was married to Joseph Williamson in March, 1859. To them was born two daughters and two sons, one son dying in infancy. The other children are Mrs. L. M. Bertholf of Winterset, Mrs. Wilda Hibbs and John Williamson, both of Earlham together with a faithful husband, several grandchildren and three brothers mourn the loss of one who whose life had been loving devotion to her home. The family lived 11 years south of Earlham. In 1874, they moved to the Williamson farm, one mile north of town where they spent years. Feeling that the active duties of farm life were too heavy for their declining years, they turned them over to others six years ago, and moved to the present commodious home in town. Mrs. Williamson will long be remembered as a faithful wife and mother, a cheery and helpful neighbor. Her faithfulness in the home duties is known to all and those who knew her best are most ready to testify to the true nobility of her life. The poor and needy always found in her a true friend and a ready helper: to tie to them was to her a pleasure. She liked to go to church but was largely deprived of that privilege. Again and again during her last sickness, she expressed her faith in the Savior. "I am ready to go" she said. "I am going to see Jesus and my mother. I want to go, but still, I am needed here." About a month ago she was taken with pneumonia and after a hard struggle with the disease, she seemed well on the road to recovery, but a relapse set in and her strength proved insufficient for the second test, and she left us. The funeral services were held Monday at the Friend's church, Rev. J. D. Mills officiating, and the remains were consigned to their last resting place in the Earlham cemetery.
