Mary Williams, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Williams, was born iri Painsyille, Ohio, August 12, 1835, and was 73 years, 7 months and 15 days of age. She was one of a famll of seven children, and with her par ents moved to Winneabago, Illnols, when she was about 3 years old. Mts. Paxson came to Manchester in 1858 and made an extended visit with her brother, George Williams, who lived on a farm near this city. Deciding to remain here, she made her home with Rev. and Mrs. Churchill. Some time afterwards, she met Charles H. Paxson, and 011 October S, 1860, they were married by Mr. Churchill, who was then pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church in Manchester. Mr. and Mrs. Paxson built their home in 1865, the foundation of which was completed the day Abrhaam Lincoln was assassinated. Seven children were born to them, one of whom died when three years of age. The remainder of the family, wKJi the exception of Mr. Paxson, who died May 16, 1894, survive the mother. They are Mrs. C. W. Hayes of Omaha, Nebraska Mrs. J. M. Mor isey of Indianapolis, Indiana Mis3 Susan Paxson of Omaha, Charles H. Paxson, Miss Emily Paxson and Mits Ruth Paxson of this city. Two broth ers, John Williams of Upland, Cali fornia, and Henry Williams, who lives In the same state, also sur vive her. Mrs. Paxson united with the Methodist Episcopal church when child, placing her letter in the local parish nearly fifty years ago. Until her health was impaired and it was impossible for her to attend religious services, Mrs. Paxson was an earnest and tireless worker" for the church which she loved. After being denied all means of personal attendance at divine worship, she in stituted and maintained until the time of her death an alter of faith In the home, being made happy by the constant attention of her hosts of friends and' of her ftunlly.. The dis ease which sorely afflicted her for nearly twenty-five yeSrS was one that required almost superhuman strength and fortitude to bear, and yet through if all, Mrs, Paxson cheerfully exerted and consistently proved her simple tiust in the religion which she had proved and- tested for many years. With but a single thought, she stead fastly made the happiness of her family and her friends the supreme Importance In her life. Having suf fered so pitifully, all these tedious years, Mrs. Paxson knew full well the strength which oame^ from ex pressed sympathy and loving care of her children. She died quietly arid without pain, and her departure from life came as a sudden and unbe lievable statement to her friends and family. Telegrams were immediately sent to the children, and Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Morlsey, Miss Sue, Paxson and Mr. Paxson arrived in the city. Sat urday night.
