A NOBEL [sic]  WOMAN GONE
Miss Sarah Williams Answers the Angle’s [sic]  Call Tuesday night

A gloom was cast over the little village by the death of Miss Sarah Williams Tuesday night, who after a brief illness of fever passes away at her home aged 61 years. A few days ago she was taken ill, but her condition gave no indications of serious results soon to follow. Late Tuesday evening, however, she was taken suddenly worse and death ended her suffering. The funeral services were conducted Wednesday evening at the Baptist church, by Rev. Granville Lee, after which the remains were interred in the Baptist cemetery. Deceased leaves one sister, one brother, A.J. Williams, Clerk & Master, and a number of other relatives and friends to mourn her untimely death—Polk County News-Gazette
