Burnet and this entire section of Burnet County were deeply saddened Thursday morning when word came that Dr. J. L. Williamson was dead. He had been critically ill for some time, and for almost three weeks had been under treatment at the Scott & White Hospital in Temple. When he was first stricken, his family and many friends had hope for his ultimate recovery, but during the past few weeks they realized that the end was only a matter of days, but this did not lessen the shock, and grief of his passing. The body was prepared for burial by the Briggs-Gamel Funeral Home of Lampasas and his funeral service was held at 4:00 o'clock Friday afternoon in the First Baptist Church of Burnet, conducted by its pastor, Rev. R. E. Harrison, who paid a glowing and deserved tribute to the life and services of Dr. Williamson as a man and physician. Dr. Williamson was born near Athens, Texas on June 9th, 1878; died August 24th, 1944. On March 17th, 1904 he was united in marriage to Miss Addie Finklea who survives him. He is also survived by four children, J. k. Williamson of Burnet, Miss Marie Williamson of Burnet, L. A. Williamson of San Angelo, Mrs. T. A. loveless of Globe, Arizona, one sister, Mrs. Ira Burnett of Canton, Texas, a brother, J. C. Williamson of Dallas, and two half sisters, Mrs. Theo. Walker and Mrs. Ted Simmons of Athens.
Dr. Williamson was the son of John Washington Williamson and his wife Sarah Colon Hobbs Williamson. They are buried in the Tidmore Cemetery in Van Zandt Cemetery.
