WILLIAMS, (child) Walter

Death of a Good Little Boy
Master Walter Williams, who has been an invalid for a year or two, died yesterday morning. He is the second son of Mrs. Williams, a widow residing on Centre street, and the mother of three good and promising lads. There are many persons who will sympathize with Mrs. Williams in her affliction, because they know how kind and loving a family they were, and how this irruption by death must strain the tender chords of love that bound the family in one. The funeral of Master Walter will take place this afternoon.
