Charlotte, March 30—William Holt Williamson, one of Charlotte’s prominent citizens, died at his home at Deland, Fla., Monday at 11 p.m., after an illness of 10 days, following a period of failing health for a year. He had been suffering from kidney and heart trouble.
The funeral will be held at Christ Episcopal Church in Raleigh Thursday at 3:30 p.m. and interment in Oakwood cemetery will follow. Mr. Williamson lived in Raleigh until he moved to Charlotte three years ago.
Mr. Williamson, who was a son of the late J.N. Wiliamson of Graham, was engaged with his father in the management of the Ossippee Cotton Mills near Burlington, afterwards organizing the Pilot Cotton Mills Company at Raleigh. Ten years ago both concerns were sold, and Mr. Williamson retired from active business.
He was, at the time of his death, a member of the board of directors of the American Trust Company here and was an active member of St. Peters Episcopal Church. He had a wide circle of friends in Charlotte.
Mr. Williamson was a nephew of the late W.E. Holt Sr. of Charlotte and was a first cousin of Mrs. R.L. Tate and William E. Holt Jr., now residing in Charlotte.
