Elizabeth R. Williams, daughter of George and Dorcas Saunders Williams, was born January 13, 1844, at Albion, Wis., and died at her home at Nortonville, Kan., August 9, 1917.
She was married to Oliver Davis on January 29, 1868. In 1873, they moved to Nortonville, Kan., and established the home where Mrs. Davis spent the remainder of her life. Her husband died in 1908.
Early in life she made the Christian confession and joined the Seventh Day Baptist Church. Throughout the remainder of her life she maintained her church membership, and in many beautiful ways expressed her interest in the advancing kingdom of the Master. Both Mr. and Mrs. Davis remembered various Seventh Day Baptist interests in making their wills for the disposition of their property, and though they have passed on to their reward, their labors will continue to bless humanity throughout the ages.
The funeral service was conducted at the family home on Sabbath Day, August 11, 1917, by Rev. A. S. Embree, of Topeka, Kan., an old friend of the Davis family and at one time the pastor of the M. E. church in Nortonville. Burial was made in the Nortonville Cemetery. J. L. S.
