Mrs. Monteze Williams Lammons, wife of Col. Frank Lammons, U.S. Army (retired), a native of Athens, died at 4 p.m. Saturday, August 13, at Brooke General Hospital, Fort Sam Houston, after a long illness.
She was born in Alabama but in her infancy her parents moved to Texas. She graduated from the Pittsburg, Texas high school, attended Baylor College and then Baylor University where she graduated from the School of Nursing with the class of 1916. Thereafter she was associated with the Baylor Hospital.
During World War I, Mrs. Lammons served as a nurse with the Naval Hospital at Great Lakes, Illinois. For this service, she was awarded the Victory Medal by the Navy Department. In 1922, she was married in Dallas to Colonel (then Captain) Lammons; thereafter she resided with her husband at various army posts and stations throughout the country.
During World War II, while her husband was commanding Camp Pickett, Va., she became well known to thousands of combat troops who completed their training at that large Army camp when she was very active in social and general welfare work among them. In the closing months of the war she rendered distinguished service in welfare work among thousands of battle-wounded veterans of European and South Pacific battlefields who were returned to Camp Pickett hospitals for treatment. For this outstanding service, she was commended by the War Department and by high ranking Army commanders.
Since her husband's retirement from active service in 1946, Mrs. Lammons has resided with him on their ranch near Boerne, thirty miles north of San Antonio.
Besides her husband, she is survived by her mother, Mrs. Sarah Williams of Belton, Texas; two brothers, Vernon Williams of Belton and Arthur Williams of Dallas; and a sister, Mrs. Frank Crawford of Pecan Gap, Texas. She had many friends and relatives in Dallas, Athens and Pittsburg.
Funeral services, conducted by Col. (Chap) Luther Evans, post chaplain, assisted by Capt. (Chap) Thomas P. Grant, an old friend, were held at Fort Sam Houston Chapel on August 16, at 10:15 a.m. Interment followed with full military honors in the National Cemetery. The pallbearers were a group of distinguished officers of the Army, who are old friends of the family.
