Williamson, Charles Albert

Dr. Charles Albert Williamson passed out of this life at his home in this city last Friday after an illness of several weeks. Funeral services were held at the family residence at 10 o’clock Saturday morning. Rev. A. S. Garrard of Bastrop conducted and the remains laid to rest in Odd Fellows’ Rest.

Following the regular service, members of the local Ku Klux Klan, in robes but unmasked, surrounded the grave and attended while Rev. McLaughlin of Garwood, who was one of their number delivered an address.

Dr. Williamson was born in Clark County, Alabama on April 4, 1849. He spent his youth in Choctaw Corner, Ala. and graduated from the Medical College at Mobile in 1882, beginning practice at Putnam. He came to Columbus in April 1885 with his wife, whom he married at Morvin, Ala. in 1878 and has lived here continuously since that date.

He was one of the pioneer physicians in this section and rendered a tireless and unselfish service to the people for many years. He was known and loved far and wide for his noble life and humanitarian deeds, and in late years, when his visits to the business section became less frequent his jovial spirit was a source of pleasure to many when he strolled to town.

Dr. Williamson lived a useful life and his demise is mourned by many who came in contact with his manly character.

He is survived by a wife, one son, J. W. Williamson of Montgomery, Ala., two daughters, Mrs. Friench Simpson of Boston, Mass., and Mrs. Daisy Middlebrook of this city, and two grandsons, Earl W. Middlebrook of Columbus and Friench Simpson, Jr. of Boston.

Ours the heartache, the sorrow and pain,

Thy slumber is sweet.
