Daughter of Gov. Myron Holley and Zilpha Watkins Clark, wife of George Norton Williams.

Obit-
Ontario County Chronicle 29 January 1902

Mrs. Abigail Stanley Clark Williams, wife of Captain George N. Williams, died
at the family residence in Howell street, on Friday night, aged 58 years. Mrs.
Williams attended the Seton-Thompson lecture in the Union school hall just one
week before her death and contracted a cold, which resulted in a serious attack
of pneumonia. Everything that medical skill could do was done to alleviate her,
but she gradually grew worse until the end. She was the youngest daughter of the
late Governor Myron H. Clark, and was beloved by a large circle of relatives and
friends, to whom her sudden and unexpected death came like a shock. During her
last hours, she was surrounded by her husband and two children, Miss Mary
Williams of Canandaigua, and M. Clark Williams of New York city, and her three
sisters, Mrs. F. F. Thompson, Mrs. S. D. Backus and Miss Charlotte Clark. An
only brother, Lorenzo Clark, of Detroit, Mich., did not reach Canandaigua until
Sunday afternoon. The deceased had but recently returned from Europe, and,
together with her husband and daughter, was planning an extended sojourn in
California. The funeral was held from her late residence on Monday afternoon,
the interment being in Woodlawn.
