Williams, Bride, followed by their mother, Susan Anna Williams, in the center next to her sister in law, Frances Elizabeth Williams.  Tom Lyle and his father, Thomas Jefferson Williams, are on the right.  Below an unknown girl, next to Tom Lyle's sister Eva.                                                                                 

Here are a couple of never before told stories about 

Tom Lyle Williams.

Tom Lyle had the Morganfield Kentucky paper delivered to him in LA. If he saw any one in town needed help he'd send them an anonymous check.

Emery and Lyle had a long-time housekeeper named Leola. When she died Tom Lyle, drove Leola's mother in his Cadillac to a poor neighborhood to attend Leola's funeral. Then he put the mother on the Maybelline payroll which continued until her own death.

Tom Lyle Williams remained a humble, generous man all his life, not only with his family, but with anyone who needed help.  He said that, what ever he gave away came back to him, 10 fold. We could all learn from Tom Lyle's kindness, love and faith.

Maybelline Heir, Bill Williams, says "I do," for the third time.

Bill  Williams, marries his third wife, Gloria Rosan, at his cousin Noel A. and Jean Williams home in Montecito California, on New Years Eve, 1977.

If you've been following the Maybelline Blog, you have watched Bill and his cousin Noel A. since they were babies together.  Now they're in their 50's as life takes on yet a new beginning.
