Obituary for Willie Allen Douglass. Only 41 yrs 2 mos old. He was the first son of Edwin C. and Sophronia J Hilliard Douglass*** This is in error as other records indicate his mother was Marietta Catherine Neel, who was the first wife of Edwin C.

Because of failing health he sold his business interests in the later part of 1909 and moved back to the old Douglass Homestead with his Uncle Charlie Clements Douglass.
