Mrs Williams (?–1908)

News was received in Brisbane yesterday of a fatal buggy accident at Esk, the victim being Mrs. Charles Willians wife of the general manager of the Jondaryan Estates Company. It is understood that Mrs. William, with Mr. G. H. Graham, was out driving near Esk and Mr. Graham got out to open a gate. Mrs. Williams drove through the gate, but from some cause the horses bolted, with the result that Mrs. Williams was thrown out and killed. The body is to be removed to-day to Jondaryan, where the funeral will take place. A special train will leave Ipswich to-day at 11.20, and the train from Brisbane at 10 a.m. will connect with it.
