Mrs. Mary Williams died Monday evening at 9 o'clock at her home in this city of typhoid fever. She was taken ill two weeks ago with malarial fever which quickly developed into the most acute type of typhoid. She sank steadily and rapidly in spite of all that medical skill and careful nursing could do and death came, quietly and peacefully, last evening. Mary Reilly was born in New York City in May 1837. She was the daughter of John Reilly and came to Webster county with her parents in 1853. Two years later she was married to Michael Williams and for many years lived happily with him on a farm near this city. Her husband died in 1875. A few years later she removed to this city. During the years of her widowhood she worked unselfishly and untiringly for the up bringing of the large family of children left to her care. Mrs. Williams was an earnest and active member of the Catholic church. By her useful christian life she has earned the richest blessings, that heaven can bestow. Seven children survive, three boys and four girls, all grown, who will have the sympathy of all in their bereavement. The funeral occurred at Corpus Christi church at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.
