Sorry for the loss of Maude “Ree” White Williams. Her service will be this Saturday at Midway M. B. Church at 11:00 a.m. Interment in the church cemetery. Our sympathy goes out to the White and Williams Family. She has fought a health battle, but she has finished her course. Now she is gone home to glory to be with her parents.
