The district was shocked when news of the passing of Burwell Ramsey Williams, youthful son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Williams occurred at midnight Tuesday, July 14.
Young Williams went t work at the W.A. Bechtel Company for previous day, and though he did not feel well, not a complaint came from his lips. That night at 7:30 o'clock his ailment began to tell on him, and he was placed under the care of Drs. A.F. Clark and T.C. Harper all day Tuesday. At 9:30 p.m. he was taken to the Gila County hospital. Every medical attention was administered the patient, and he was placed under an oxygen tent. Young Williams did not rally, however, and death was attributed to acute pulmonary edema and heart failure.
He was born in the residence where his parents reside at 690 Ash street, Globe, August 22, 1919 and was nearing in 23rd birthday. He was a graduate of the Globe high school with the class of 1938, and was on the road to a brilliant career at the University of Arizona where he enrolled in the college of engineering, as a civil engineer student for nearly four years. Young Williams was making a record for himself at the state's highest institution of education, and was slated to end an outstanding and remarkable university career with honors and distinction. Mr. Williams was honored by membership in the American Engineers and the American Road Builders Association. He was an active member of the First Baptist church of Tucson. One his death bed, he made the request that he wasn't going to join the army, but was enlisting in the Lord's army. Another request, that he be laid to rest with the Bible in his hand, was fulfilled.
Services and final rites were held from the Jones Funeral Chapel Saturday at 2 p.m. A long file of sorrowing friends were on hand to pay their last respects to a native of Globe -- a character who was respected and upheld by his fellow Americans church members, college students and acquaintances in all walks of life.
Services were in charge of Dr. R.S Beal, pastor of the First Baptist church of Tucson. The deceased, a good Christian and faithful to the church, was a personal friend of Dr. Beal. He was paid a stirring tribute by Dr. Beal who praised him for his honesty traits of energy, gentlemanly character and studious ability. Dr. Beal also offered the opening and closing prayer. He was assisted by Rev W.A. Hixon, pastor of the First Christian church of Globe
Two of Mrs. Williams favorite hymns were rendered out of respect to his memory. Jess Hayes and Dan Shelton sang "Sunrise" and Mrs. Esther Preston rendered "Some Time We Will Understand." The vocalists were accompanied at the piano by Mrs. P.H. Coleman.
At the graveside, Rev. Hixon delivered an inspiring message. He praised the work of the deceased and said his passing removed a leader and staunch church worker who would continue his good work with God.
Many beautiful flowers, wreaths and emblems were sent for the funeral. Mr. Williams' casket was overflowing with flowers as an esteem of his friendship, and the respect in which he was held.
Pall bearers were intimate friends and included Ralph Eggleston, Herold Higgins, Dave Sullivan, Max Richards, Bob Murphy and John J. Bayer.
The deceased is the son of long time Globe resident. His father has been an employee of the Globe-Miami Laundry for over 30 years. His sister, Bette Ruth, is popular in the county seat, and is an active student at the Globe high school. Like her brother, Miss Williams is a talented musician, and is pianist for Miss Kellner's School of Dance and Expression.
Mrs. J.T. Williams, Santa Ana, Calif., sister of Mrs. Williams, and Mrs. Rose Ballard, San Diego, sister of Mrs. Williams, arrived in Globe for the sad mission. Mr. and Mrs. Williams and daughter, Bette Ruth received a number of messages of sympathy and condolence on the tragic death of their son and brother.
An everlasting consolation is the fact that young Mr. Williams lived a clean Christian life, which his parents and friends point with pride to, and an inspiration for the girl and boy of today to follow.
