  Marshall Edward Williams, an Executive in the Brewer Paint and Wallpaper

65 yrs old, had been seriously ill since he suffered a stroke Monday night. He 
had been associated with the Brewer Company since its organization in 1927, 
and was vice president in charge of the local operations of the firm. Mr. 
Williams came to Rocky Mount from Wayne County in 1907 and for 15 years worked 
for the Atlantic Coast Line railroad as a locomotive painter. 

From 1922 to 1927 he was in the paint contracting business himself until he 
joined the Brewer firm when it was organized. He married Miss Lela Hughes in 
1907 and she died in 1939. From that marriage there were 2 sons, Ray Williams 
of Raleigh and Merle Williams of Rocky Mount; a daughter, Mrs. Ruby W. Best of 
Rocky Mount, all of whom survive. In 1946 he married Ruth S. Andrews, who 
survives with two step-sons, Woodrow W. Andrews of Morehead City and William 
A. Andrews of Rocky Mount; and Mrs. Mildred A. McArthur of Robinsville, a step-
daughter; and five grandchildren. He was a member of the Arlington Street 
Baptist Church. Funeral Services were held from Gay's Funeral Home this 
afternoon at 5:30 with the Rev. Joe Brooks, pastor of the Edgemont 
Presbyterian Church. Burial was in Pineview Cemetery. Active pallbearers for 
the funeral will be E.C. Glover, M.M. Francis, L.J. Henderson, J.V. Futch,
