Dies After But Day Of Illness
Miss Caroline H. Williams, after an illness of but one day, died this morning at 2 o'clock at the home of her niece, Mrs. Ralph Ballard, at the age of 82 years.
Miss Williams was born in Niles, October 16, 1842, and lived here until the early eighties when she accompanied her sister and brother-in-law to South Dakota, where she lived until 1912, when she returned to Niles, and had since made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Ballard.
Miss Williams was the daughter of William C. and Elizabeth Williams and was the last living member of a large family of brothers and sisters, most of whom died in early manhood and womanhood.
Since her return to Niles, Miss Williams has made many new friends as well as enjoying those she knew as a child.
The funeral service will be held at the Ballard home, Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. H.T. Scherer will officiate.
