Mrs. Stanton D. Kirkham

Mary Clark Williams, wife of Stanton D. Kirkham, died at Milford, S. C., after an illness of several years on Monday morning.

The remains are expected to arrive in Canandaigua early Friday morning, and it is arranged that the funeral shall take place from the family home on Howell Street on the same day. The Rev. Livingston L. Taylor of the Congregational Church will conduct the service and the interment will be at Woodlawn.

The young woman whose remains will be thus laid away on Good Friday was the daughter of the late Captain George N. and Mrs. Abigail Clark Williams, and the granddaughter of Governor Myron H. Clark.

She was born in Canandaigua, November 3, 1869, and had always made the village her home, though absent from it for extended periods while traveling in this country or abroad, and more recently while seeking to avoid the rigors of the northern climate.

The memory of her gracious presence and her kindly deeds is cherished by many personal friends, and by the community in whose progress she was deeply interested, and for whose welfare she was ever solicitous. So long as her health permitted she was prominent in the social life of the village and took an active and most helpful part in church and public affairs.

She was until recently a member of the board of directors of the Memorial Hospital, officiated for a number of years as treasurer of the board of managers of the Clark Manor House, was a charter member and the first treasurer of the Ontario County Historical Society, and through other organizations and in other ways, spent unstintingly, time and strength and means in unselfish service.

Miss Williams was united in marriage on May 16, 1907, to Mr. Stanton D. Kirkham, the author, who survives, as does also her little daughter, Mary Clark Kirkham. Besides these, she leaves one brother, the Hon. Clark Williams, of New York, three aunts, Mrs. Samuel D. Backus of Canandaigua, Mrs. Frederick F. Thompson, of New York, and Miss Charlotte E. Clark of Canandaigua, and an uncle, Lorenzo E. Clark, Esq., of Detroit, Mich.
