      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.
