Occupation - Music teacher.
Frances {Age 63; Widow} is recorded on the 1911 census at St. Thomas, Elgin, Ontario
dwelling with her sister, Henrietta.
ST. THOMAS JOURNAL - February 1920:
********************************
The passing of Mrs. Fannie Williams on Monday night removes one of the best known ladies of the city. Stricken with paralysis, nearly two years ago, and confined largely to her home, she has not been so prominent as before her affliction, when her activities in social and church life were well known.
She spent all of her life in St. Thomas.
Gifted with a talent for music, she gave freely of her time; and many citizens received their early musical training at her side.
Her happy wedded life was of short duration, as her husband predeceased her 28 years ago. Since then she has fought the battle of life with a courage and heroism rarely found in women. A brilliant conversationalist, she was ever ready with wit and repartee and this, combined with her womanly qualities and Christian character, won a host of friends who helped to make the rough places smooth.
The self-sacrificing devotion of her sister, Miss Allworth, made comparatively easy her long nights of suffering, and she it is who will feel the loss by reason of their years of companionship.
