Louie Ann Williams Hamby was the daughter of Sherrod Absalom Williams and Minnie Susan Arendale. Sherrod was descended from the family in the Williams Cove area of Winchester, TN and Minnie Sue was from Marion County, TN.
In adulthood, Louie taught school in the old schoolhouse across from the entrance to Russell Cave and was postmistress of the town of Bridgeport. She once won a beautiful upright piano in a local contest put on by the newspaper for the "most popular lady in Bridgeport." The piano has been restored and now belongs to her grandson. She was a poet and a painter all of her life.
She met her husband, Rev. Charles Pinkney Hamby, Sr., when he was preaching a revival at Bridgeport Methodist Church. He was a widower at the time. She became a faithful pastor's wife. After his death, she was a widow for over 20 years and remained active in the Ensley Highlands United Methodist Church while living in a superannuate apartment across the street. She died carrying a casserole dish to church, after having seen a dream or vision of Christ at her bed one night just a week or two beforehand.
Her children were Dorothy Eleanor Hamby Cartledge, Marvin Haynes Hamby, Rev. Warren Candler Hamby, Sr., Rev. Charles Pinkney Hamby, Jr., and Betty Jean Hamby West.
