Blythe Mr. and Mrs. Ed Layfield Mr. and Mrs. M.T. Fielder Mr. and Mrs. S.F. Hart **Please note there is an error in the obituary regarding the location of William’s death. At the time of his death, he was living with his daughter Susie Clyde Blythe Layfield and her family. The Layfield family resided in Phenix City, Alabama and he died at her home. I have obtained Mr. Blythe’s death certificate from Alabama Vital Records and it verifies this fact.
