"The Journal-Telephone", Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Thursday, Apr. 7, 1927, p 1.
Amy Vernelia Frink, the daughter of Ezekiel P. and Salome Babcock Frink, was born in Milton township, Wis., on January 20, 1847, and passed away from this life at the Memorial hospital in Edgerton, Wis., March 28, 1927.
At the age of eight years her mother died and the four children were taken into the homes of relatives until the remarriage of the father.
She went to live with an aunt near Lake Mills, at the time of her mother's death; and then later in her young womanhood she spent some time with this aunt.
Her early education was obtained in the public schools and Du Lac Academy - later called Milton Academy.
She taught a district school near Otter Creek and one in Milton township and also at Friendship, Adams county, Wisconsin.
On January 28, 1874, she was married to Charles M. Williams and came to Albion to make her home.
Two sons were born to this union, Harlan, who died at the age of six years and E. Glenn, who survives her.
She was a great lover of poetry and wrote many original poems.
She was often called upon to go into homes where there were sickness and death and by her kindly ministrations endeared herself to many people.
She was a faithful member of the Missionary and Benevolent society, taking her turn to serve at the regular meetings not long before her last illness.
In early womanhood, she was baptized and joined the Milton S. D. B. church.
On coming to Albion she transferred her membership to this church and remained a loyal member until she was called to the home beyond.
She was a woman who dearly loved her own home and was happy in caring for it, so the death of her husband Sept. 9, 1923 came as a severe shock to her.
When her last sickness came she went to the home of her son. As she gradually grew worse they took her to the hospital, where she could have the best of care.
In a few short days she quietly passed away. She is survived by her son, E. Glenn Williams, three grandchildren, Glenita, Charles and Mary, a brother, L. H. Frink, of Rock Island, Ill., and a sister, Mrs. Emogene Stone, of Riverside, California.

Glenn Williams. January 28, 1874, he was united in marriage with Amy Vernelia Frink, with whom he has lived happily almost fifty years.

Mr. Williams' grandfather, Robert Williams, a Welshman, was a sea captain who served in the Revolutionary War, and settled at Stonington, Conn.
For seventy years Mr. Williams has been an important factor in the community life of Albion. He was educated in the public schools and pursued the course of study at Albion Academy. He served the public as town treasurer for many years and as school director. At the time of his death he was health officer. He was active in the maintenance of the Academy. He was a loyal supporter of the church, serving as treasurer and trustee.
His home was an example of domestic felicity, a tower of strength in the neighborhood. In all his public and private relations he has lived an exemplary life; temperate in habits, having never used tobacco nor intoxicants, yet not radical in his attitude towards others. Ever cheerful and kind, he yet was fearless to express himself or to perform his duty.
In the many acts of neighborliness and in the care of the sick he manifested the spirit of true religion. All who shared his home enjoyed the benefit of his consideration for their happiness and welfare. All who knew him best appreciate him most and hold him in loving remembrance.
The funeral was conducted by Pastor L. D. Seager and burial took place in Evergreen Cemetery. L. D. S.
