Sarah M. Williams (b. Freeman) (1860-1943) was born in Brooklyn, New
York, and died in Preston, Ontario, Canada. She married Samuel J. Williams, a
manufacturer, in 1880, and they moved to Toronto, Ontario, where they resided until
1893. Around this time, Williams was healed using Christian Science treatment through
prayer. She studied Christian Science with Pamelia J. Leonard, a student of Mary Baker
Eddy's, and became a member of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Toronto, Ontario,
Canada. The family moved to Berlin (now Kitchener), Ontario, and Williams joined The
First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 6, 1894; Samuel
later joined on June 5, 1906. In June 1901 Williams took the Normal class taught by
Edward A. Kimball in the Board of Education of the First Church of Christ, Scientist.
