Obit For Frances P. (Williams) Seamster
Headline Obituary
Text Obituary: Frances P. (Williams) Seamster was born June 7, 1861 and died Feb. 26, 1914. She was born in Lawrence County and was married to B. Seamster, Aug 8, 1889. To this union was born, four children, 3 girls and one boy, Mrs. Ora Gum, James Seamster, Mrs. Laura Hankins, who died Dec. 25, 1913, and Ola Seamster, and besides those she left three brothers and one sister, George B. and John Williams of Fairview, James Williams of Peirce [Pierce] City and Mrs. Clara Hutsell of Granby.

Mrs. Seamster's death was sudden and quite a shock to her many friends. The funeral services were held at Mt. Olive church in the presence of a large congregation of her friends and neighbors who held her in highest esteem. She was converted at the age of 17 years at Peirce [Pierce] City and was a charter member of Mt. Olive Church.

She won her way to the hearts of the people by her devotion that is characteristic of the true child of God. She was always ready to help the distressed or needy.

The church has lost a good member, the community a good neighbor, the children a kind mother, husband and good companion. May the all seeing Eye ever watch over, guard and protect her loved ones until they gather in the green fields of God's love, where the blessings shall be as the dew upon mown grass and the rainbow will give her color so birth and clear that we never will fear death or sorrow but will be caught with wonder and amazement of God's wondrous love.
