She is known as "Aunt Kate" by relatives and neighbors alike. Miss Williams lived on the family homestead, Maitland Concession until 1936. Since then she has made her home with. her sister, Mrs. John A. Torrance. She has three brothers liv- ing, William D. of Clinton; Ed- ward G. of Goderich and How- ard of St. Catharines. Her grandparents all pur- chased land near Holmesville in 1'832, but her parents were edu- cated in Goderich: Charles White Williams at the gram- mar school of the 1850's, and Mary Eleanor Proctor at the private school of the Misses Lizars. Miss Williams was tutored at home until she was ten by a grandfather who thought Latin derivations m or e important than simple arithmetic prob- lems. After his death his grandchildren attended Holmes- vine school. Schooldays for "Kate" were of short duration; there were eight younger bro- thers and sisters at home. Miss Williams recalls many incidents and characters of her youth. -Her favorite mare was sold as an officer's mount in the Boer War. A great-uncle made crocks from the special clay on a neighboring farm; each year he took a load of his wares to Bolton to sell to Tim- othy Eaton. Captain Marlton hunted for gold on the river bank. French neighbors cured their own to- bacco and made their own straw hats. A poor Irish neigh- bor washed the Williams' blan- kets by tramping them bare- foot in .a big tub. When snow blocked the roads the frozen Maitland provided a good sub- stitute. Until a serious illness four years ago Miss Williams enjoy- ed excellent health. Now she is less active, but still quilts for the local church. The com- munity extends best wishes and congratulations. 0 groups.
