A brief article in the Seattle Daily Times, October 3, 1924: Robert Earl Williams, 38 years old, died this morning in his home at Seattle according to his widow, Mrs. Blanche Williams. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Blanche Williams, his father, Andrew Williams, a sister, Mrs. M. H. Day, and a brother, Lynde Williams. Mr. Williams had lived in Seattle for seven years and was employed as assistant passenger agent for the Alaska Steamship Company. He was a member of the Maritime Lodge, No. 239, Free and Accepted Masons. The body is in the Butterworth mortuary pending funeral arrangements. An article in the July 27, 1935, edition of the Bellingham Herald referred to an event of 25 years earlier (i. e., 1910): After being separated for three years, the members of the ’07 high school team that won the championship of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho by defeating the Broadway High School of Seattle will get together Sunday for what may be their final game. For months the members of the old Bellingham high school team have been trying to assemble again but have been unable to do so until Bert Williams began to devote his time to the organization. Manager Williams says that the men that will probably be seen in the lineup are: Ernest Goddard, Frank Holbrook, Lynde Williams, Oscar Blockburger, Frank Keene, Charles Follman, Bennet. C. J. McCullough, Bert Williams, Paul Tatman, and Wright.
