** O B I T U A R Y **
Mrs. Jessie Fouch Williams was bom in Lincoln County, Georgia on October 12, 1884.
At an early age she was baptized at Antioch AME Church but later became affiliated with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church when she moved into that community.
At age nineteen she was wedded to the late Henry E. Wil liams, and to this marriage eleven children were bom, eight of whom survive her.
Mrs. Williams left the Lincoln County Community more than sixty years ago and established residence on Pleasant Home Road, Augusta, which the family still calls "home".
On settling in this new community she decided she must have some place for the family to worship and attend Sunday School. Her decision was to worship at the Piney Grove Baptist Church where she served in various capacities, especially with the Sunday School where she served as teacher and treasurer even during ill health.
A very dear mother, she leaves to mourn her passing, three daughters, Mrs. Alma Greene, Mrs. Jessie Thompkins, and Mrs. Mildred Hankerson; five sons, Mr. Henry Williams of Chicago and Messrs. George Williams, Orin Williams, Edward Williams and Terrell Williams of Augusta; nine grandchildren, Mr. Henry Wil liams of Columbus, Ohio, Mrs. Mattie Williams, Mrs. Ernestine Banks and Mr. Miles Williams of Chicago, Mrs. Deborah Bennett of New York, Mrs. Colis Ivey and Mr. Eric Hankerson of Augusta, Mr. Richard Williams of Los Angeles and Mrs. Joyce DeJoie of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti; in-laws, Mrs. Margaret Williams, Mrs. Belle Williams, Mrs. Rosa Williams, Mr. Fred Thompkins, Mrs. Ethel Williams, Mr. Benjamin Hankerson; thirteen great grandchildren, five great great grandchildren; several nieces and nephews and other relatives and friends.

"I must be brave for the children's sake!" That's what the mother said years ago Over the anguish and hurt and ache When father was taken. And all we know And all we are at the present time, We owe to her courage and faith sublime.
"I must be strong for the children's sake!" And out of her eyes she wiped the tears To face her problem, alone, to make A home for us through the coming years. Grief was hers for an endless while, But all of us needed her cherry smile.
"I must keep on for the children's sake!" This was the answer the mother made To the woe which threatened her heart to break, With soul courageous and unafraid. And all through the lonely years and long The little mother was brave,;was strong.
