Martin. Of this union two children were born. Both the children and husband died, and on December 5, 1860, she was married to I. B. Williams. There were four children born to them, one of whom died in infancy. The other three, J. B., James R. and A. L. Williams with her husband and one stepson, I. F. Williams, survive her. She died January 2, 1902. She became a Christian at 13 years of age and remained faithful unto death. She was upright, honest and truthful, and her pleasant, genial temperament won many friends whose deepest sympathies are with the sorrowing family in the hour of their bereavement.
