Tyler Andrew Williams
Transcriber's Note: This information was transcribed
from a newspaper clipping that belonged to my great-grandmother,
Thelma Williams Luke, of Ben Hill County, Georgia. I'm
certain she cut the first one out of the local paper,
"The Herald-Leader" Fitzgerald, GA regarding her father:
We are sorry to learn of the death of Mr. Tyler Williams of Nashville,
Tenn., brother of Mrs. Tom Lee of
Irwinville and father of Mrs. Louis Luke of Fitzgerald. He
was the uncle of Mrs. George Luke; J. D. Luke
and Mrs. David Williamson of Fitzgerald and Mrs. Almond Williamson of
Warner Robins.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the Williams
family. Mr. and Mrs. Williams formerly lived near here
before moving back to Tennessee. They were very lovely
friends and Mr. Williams will be greatly missed
by his family and friends.
