    We, the Primitive Baptist Church of Mt. Zion  in  Nixon, Texas,  bow  in  
humble  submission to the will of our heav- enly Father, who called from our 
midst Sister Zack Williams, who had been a faithful and devoted member 
since 1922.   She was  loved  by  all  her  Brethren and Sisters and many 
surrounding friends.  Her presence will be sadly  missed.   She was  born 
April 15, 1897 and departed this life on March 29, 1962; making her stay 
on earth 64 years, 11 months,  and  14 days.   She was born in El Campo, 
Texas and later moved with her parents to Oklahoma, where she was united 
in marriage to Zack Williams, who survives.  To this union were  born  
four children;  one  son,  Zack Ross Williams of Woodboro, Texas; and 
three daughters, Helen  Juanita  Benson  of  San  Diego, California,  
Billie  Jean Klein and Elizabeth Ann Beicker of Seguin, Texas; also 
surviving are three  sisters  and  three brothers, and numerous other 
relatives and a host of friends and  neighbors. She united with the Primitive 
Baptist Church with her husband in 1922; she was the wife of a  deacon  
and filled this capacity to the fullest. Funeral  services  were  conducted  
by her pastor. Elder Floyd Huggins of  Belton,  Texas,  assisted  by  
Elder  W.J. Chambers of Lampasas, Texas and Elder Richard Daniel, Jr. 
of Luling,  Texas  at  the  Goetz  Memorial  Chapel  in Seguin, Texas.
Be it resolved we send a copy to THE BANNER OF LOVE, one for 
the family, and a copy for our church record. Written by request of 
Mt. Zion Church, while in  conference,  June  03, 1962.
