    Mrs Robert Williams

    Harvey Station, Dec 17 -- The death of Mrs Robert Williams occurred at her home in Acton, York County on Friday morning.   Deceased, who was formerly Miss Mary Brownrigg, daughter of the late Edward and Isobel (Wightman) Brownrigg, was 79 years of age.   She is survived by her husband and five sons, Robert and Thomas of Smithfield, York County; Allen, at home; Norman, of Acton, and Lewis.   The funeral took place Sunday afternoon, Rev.

    (Death records of Knox Presbyterian Church have two dates of death:   19 Dec 1928 and 18 Dec 1929--and it is quite possible that neither is correct.   Possibly died 16 Dec??)
