The Rev. Chauncey C. Williams
In his 1928 Bishop’s Address, Bishop Reese said, “The Rev. Chauncey C. Williams, D. D., died October 29, 1927. He was the senior priest of the Diocese and for thirty years the Rector of St Paul’s Church, Augusta, from which he resigned in 1907, retiring from the active exercise of his ministry and living at Mobile, Alabama. He was ordained deacon in 1874 and priest in 1876, serving first as assistant Minister of St Philip’s Church, Atlanta, then as Rector of Christ Church, Macon, from which parish he went to Augusta. Few of you probably who are here, knew him, so soon do we pass out of memory when we retire from active contact with our fellowmen. But it was my privilege to have known him from the time when I first came to Georgia in 1890. We were closely associated as brother priests and also in the work of the diocese for fourteen years and as friends for thirty-eight years. “No man was more honored and loved in his parish or in the diocese.” He filled from time to time every position of honor and responsibility in its gift. He possessed a lovable and attractive personality, was a devoted parish priest and pastor, a loyal Churchman of the type once considered ‘high’, but now reduced in ecclesiastical altitude by the towering elevation of those who move in the upper ranges of ‘Catholic’ Churchmanship. He was a scholarly and thoughtful theologian, and a preacher of marked ability, and a faithful friend and to the last devoted to his Diocese.” The memorial in that year’s convention journal also notes, “Dr. Willams, Senior Priest of this Diocese, died October 29, 1927; in Mobile, Alabama, where be had lived since his retirement from active work in 1907. He held the degrees of B. A. and M. A. from Trinity College, and D. D. from the University of the South. He was ordained to the Diaconate in 1874, and to the Priesthood in 1875, by Bishop Williams of Connecticut. Dr. Williams’ ministry was spent almost entirely in Georgia. First as assistant in St. Philip’s, Atlanta; then as Rector of Christ Church, Macon; and from 1877 to 1907, as Rector of St. Paul’s Church, Augusta. He was greatly honored and loved both in Parish and in Diocese. During his ministry he held every position of honor and responsibility in the gift of this Diocese, and was for nearly forty years a close friend of Bishop Reese.”
