"The Camilla Enterprise" dated 22 May 1959

Obituary of Wiley Griner Williams as written on page 1 of "The Camilla 
Enterprise" dated 22 May 1959. Camilla, Georgia.   
Bringing sorrow throughout the county last weekend was news of the death of 
Airman Third Class Wiley Griner Williams, seventeen year old son of Mr. and 
Mrs. Wiley G. Williams, of Cotton.  He was found dead in his car Friday, May 
15th, and the parents received word of his death Saturday morning.  They are 
still awaiting details of how he died from Schilling Air Force Base in Salina, 
Kansas, where he was stationed.  Williams had been looking forward to a visit 
home beginning this weekend.  He would have been eighteen years old at 6:00 P. 
M. Wednesday afternoon of this week, the hour funeral services were held at the 
First Baptist Church of Pelham.  The Rev. T. M. Underwood, Jr., pastor, 
officiated and interment followed in Pelham Cemetery with full military honors 
at the graveside.  Friends serving as pallbearers included Bernard Brim, Jerry 
Edwards, Mack Blanchard, Johnny Hinson, Maitand Yates, Jr., Ronnie Morrell, 
Hollis Sanders, Jr., and Larry Williams.  Braswell Funeral Home of Pelham was 
in charge of arrangements.  Survivors include his parents, his mother a member 
of the Cotton Elementary School faculty and his father employed at Yates Motor 
Company in Pelham; two sisters, Mrs. Jackie Ferrell of Pelham, and Mrs. Gerald 
Meade of Chicago, Illinois; his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Dollie Griner; and a 
number of relatives who are left to mourn his passing.  Williams was graduated 
only last year from Mitchell County High School in Camilla, with the class of 
1958, and entered military service just a short while after graduation.  The 
photo above was one of his graduation pictures.
