Cairo Messenger, October 24, 1919
Russell Williams Dies from Typhoid Fever

After an illness of about five weeks with typhoid fever, Russell Williams died 
at the home of his mother, Mrs. R. A. Williams, here last Monday morning about 
7:30 o'clock.

He was 18 years old last April.  He was telegraph operator for the Atlantic 
Coast Line, stationed at Climax at the time of his death.

Although he was not a member of any church, he lived an upright moral life, and 
professed Jesus Christ.  He was very quiet in his disposition, but when he made 
friends, they were lasting friends.

The funeral services were held at the local cemetery Tuesday afternoon at five 
o'clock.  Rev. J. G. Christian, assisted by Dr. J. A. Wynne, conducted the 
service.  The pall bearers were Robert Forrester, Weyman Bussey, Edwin Hurst, 
Walter Williams, Frank Massey and Carson Merritt.

Besides his mother, he leaves two sisters: Mrs. Charlie Brown and Clara 
Williams of Cairo; and four brothers, Roland Williams of Cairo; Afton Williams 
of Tifton; Roy Williams of Climax and Denan Williams, of Acree, Ga.
