**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.
