The late Miss Williams, sister of the late Bishop Leonard Williams was born at Waimate Mission Station, Bay of Islands.

Throughout her whole life she was deeply attached to the work of the Church of England, and devoted practically her whole labours to tho welfare of the Maoris. Miss Williams was specially attached to the Hukarere Girls' School which was opened in Napier in 1875. For many years she was lady superintendent of the institution, personally conducting the correspondence of the school and supervising the teachers until these duties were taken over by the officers of the Te Aute Trust Board after the building the present Hukarere School on Napier Terrace in1911. By her kindly disposition Miss Williams endeared herself to the many Maori girls who passed through the institution and to the others with whom she was previously associated. Her passing will be a loss keenly felt by her many Maori and European friends.
