Lynell Cordell found the following family in Federal Census records, and thinks maybe this is Claude Lee Williamson in 1930. It's really hard to read and she didn't find them in 1920.

Lynell also pointed out that Juanita Rainey had corresponded with a Dr. W. Joe Williamson, the son of Claude, and grandson of Jerry. The 8 year old Joe in the above family makes this a likely fit.
Williamson, Ellen F., Death date- July 30, 1930, - Birth date- Sept 21, 1897, Cottonwood Cem., single, Parents: Jerry Williamson, Lou Emma Gentry, Farm girl - Tuberculosis - 8 brothers were pall bearers (Note: Differs from the Cemetery records, above)
Juanita is really on top of things! She noticed that the 1930 census shows Ellen as 22 years old. Then I noticed that Ellen is not on the 1900 census. So, we've decided that maybe both the cemetery record and the funeral home record may be right and wrong. What do you think of the dates 9/21/1907 - 7/30/1930? Lynell

Jerry Williamson, 102, Buried at Greenwood (sic)
Funeral services were held at 2 pm Wednesday in Christian Chapel here for Jerry Williamson, 102-year-old pioneer Wise County resident, who died Monday in a Lubbock convalescent home. Burial was in Cottonwood Cemetery, north of Decatur. Williamson, a native of Missouri, came with his parents from Tennessee in 1863 to the Greenwood Community north of here. On the wagon journey, the family's goods were confiscated by Union soldiers.
Williamson, a retired farmer, had lived in Lubbock about five years. He resided at Greenwood most of his life, but lived also at Haskell and Vega.
His wife died in 1939 after 55 years of marriage.
Surviving are seven sons, Claude Williamson of Amarillo, Homer and J.C. Williamson of Lubbock, Elmer Williamson of Greenwood, Luther Williamson of Ardmore, Oklahoma, Weaver Williamson of Pharr and Irving Williamson of Lawton, Oklahoma, and a sister, Mrs. Fannie Mauldin----(?) (illegible).
Her Texas Birth Certificate listed her parents as Homer Williamson and Ruth Taylor, both born in Wise County. Her father's occupation was listed as R.F.D. Service. M. Post.
She was shown as the third of three living children born to Ruth.
Luther Williamson and his cousin Grace Ellen Gentry were fond of one another and used to correspond.
He married (1) Edna Beatrice ??? b. 4 Sept 1905 d. 28 Dec 1987 (2) Ilma C. ??? b. 22 Dec 1904 d. 10 Dec 1959 and (3) Beulah ??? b. 12 Apr 1905 d. 22 May 1983. He is buried next to Ilma in the Rose Hill Cemetery in Carter County, Oklahoma. His grave marker shows: FS Texas, Pfc., Co B, 359 Inf. -- WWI
?b?In April, 2006, Lynell Gentry sent the following email about Luther Williamson: "Luther is confusing because of the Ardmore City Directories showing him with Edna in 1935 thru 1955 or so. He's listed as a postal worker and that matches with his obit. But, in 1957 he's listed with llma and then she died in 1959 so he's alone the next years and then Beulah is listed in 1968. Looks to me that Ilma should be there in the early years if they married in Wise Co. in 1919. Unless.....Ilma (don't know if those are L's or I's (eyes) but maybe it sounds like Edna?

It is on a knoll behind the old James McLemore home built about 1820. In
1936 Mrs. Lizzie Taylor Dickerson occupied it. A low brick wall and
iron fence surrounds the lot. Outside the main cemetery is another smaller
one, also enclosed. There are graves of slaves and faithful servants, mostly
unmarked outside all enclousures. Graves listed begin at the southwest
corner of the plot.

MARGARET CECILY BRAMHALL passed away 1/22/09. She was born in Sale Cheshire, England on Aug. 9, 1927, and was preceded in death by her husband of 49 years Eugene Bramhall. She is survived by 6 children: Eileen Hav?, Teresa Oberholtzer, Ann Bramhall, James Bramhall, Elizabeth Childres & William Bramhall, their spouses, 8 grandchildren & 5 great-grandchildren. The Memorial service will be held at St Paul's United Methodist Church on 1/26/09 at 1:00. We will always love you Maggie.
(Published in the Houston Chronicle on 1/25/2009)
Margaret Cecily Wilson Bramhall was born Aug. 9, 1927 in Sale Chesire, England. She died Jan. 22, 2009 here in Houston. She was preceded in death by her husband of 49 years Eugene Andrew Bramhall. She is survived by her 6 children Eileen, Teresa, Ann, Jim, Liz, and Billy; 8 grandchildren of whom the 4 in Houston are able to be here: Ryan and Haley Bramhall, and William and Alex Childres; 5 great-grandchildren; 2 honorary granddaughters Ashley Childres Worley and Amber Childres, her brother Bernard, and many friends lots of whom are here.
By all accounts and any criteria, Maggie was a tremendous person. All who knew her loved her and she loved them. While she was a proper, and often stubborn, English lady, she was also lively and memorable. 100 lbs. soaking wet, she commanded the attention and respect and engendered the love of those she encountered.
She was known for her sometimes cryptic English expressions which are family lore. "I'm not as green as I am cabbage looking" was one of them. Another was "I might as well as wish I hadda done." "Bob's your uncle" and "laughing turns to crying" were yet others. One that has stuck with most everyone is "show me your friend, and I'll tell you what you are" which is good advice at any age.
Maggie and Gene and their expanding brood lived all over the world as Gene's work took them to far-flung places. During an economic downturn when his job was not in demand, Maggie went to work and helped keep the family together. She was not afraid of hard tasks and instilled in her children that same sense - people who keep clean houses and iron all clothes. A child of the depression, she did not believe in frivolous or virtually any spending. She was always for putting up and setting aside "the best" and saving it for another day.
Maggie was a good sport. She crawled through the doggie door at Liz and Scott's on a dare, a feat which fortunately did not land the Childreses in trouble with Adult Protective Services. She also was notorious for taking out her teeth and losing them in inopportune spots, like napkins, pockets and dogs' mouths. And while she never wore pants, they did get her in a pair of exercise shorts which she wore long enough to be photographed. Denise talked of a time that Maggie went to Ashley's teenaged birthday party and rode in a limousine which blared loud contemporary music. When Denise apologized to Maggie for the din, Maggie said she'd learned early on that she could endure anything for a short period of time and she might as well be kind and pleasant. Denise chose Maggie right then and there as her role model.
Maggie was a bright light shining through her and our lives. She was referred to by many different terms of endearment: Mom, Grandma, Sweetie, Old Girl, and one in particular that her husband Gene used to call her: Maggie, Me Love. It occurred to me that linking Maggie to love was a wonderful happenstance. Maggie was a tremendously loving woman. She devoted her life to love. Growing up she loved her family. During the war, when Gene showed up in England at a dance Maggie attended with her sister, Maggie and Gene fell in love. After the war, at the age of 18, Maggie, by herself, journeyed to the states to be Gene's bride. Her 49 years of marriage were filled with love, including the last several of Gene's life when she single-handedly cared for him after his stroke. She loved her family - her two families - first the 3 girls Eileen, Teresa, and Ann and then 10 years later her second batch of Jim, Liz, and Billy. Of course, William and Alex, with whom she lived throughout their lives, plus others also benefited from her maternal care. Her love for all was evident, tough though it was. Liz remembers that in high school she was expected to be in the house by 6 or dark whichever was earlier - no Bramhall was going to be out at night. And despite Maggie's strictness, everyone wanted her to be their mother. She loved people and they loved her.
The love Maggie displayed was both kind and gentle and tenacious and?b? ?/b?enduring. In our scripture readings from today, we have the familiar words from the Apostle Paul about love. This passage from First Corinthians 13 seemed to be appropriate for Maggie, as we reflected on her life. Her love wasn't soft and sentimental; it was strong and powerful. She manifested love wherever she went. People knew instantly that Maggie was a person to be trusted; she met no strangers. Just as she loved people, others fell in love with her. Always in a dress, with her trademark pearls, she shone.
She understood what Paul talked about in describing love because it was the way she lived. She knew love as described: "Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends."
Our faith tells us that Maggie is in a better place. There she is reunited with those who have gone before and there she prays for those of us left living. God who created her and loves her, has drawn her there. The person who lived all but the last weeks of her life in good health, is healthy and vibrant once again.
May we who are left to mourn Maggie, remember her life as a celebration of love. May we draw closer to one another and share life as beloved companions. And that ultimately is what living is about. Let us remember her shining example as we seek to create our own. When you take the best of what you have experienced, may Maggie be your guide. She was the best. God bless her, God bless you. Amen.

Mike Bennett noted that Robert Wilson served at the Somme. This battle took place during the First World War between 1 July and 18 November 1916 on either side of the river Somme in France. The battle saw the British Expeditionary Force mount a joint offensive, with the French Army against the German Army, which had occupied large areas of France since its invasion of the country in August 1914. The Battle of the Somme was one of the largest battles of the war; by the time fighting paused in late autumn 1916, the forces involved had suffered more than 1 million casualties, making it one of the bloodiest military operations ever recorded.
