  • When Hank Sr. finally saw the light, in Oak Hill WV, he couldn't have been in better hands than Joe Tyree, who at the time was 27 and Funeral Director at Tyree Funeral Home, in Oak Hill, WV on rte 61. Mr Tyree has excellent recall and I hope to do at least one more video interview with him...This is part II of my first interview. He was so gracious in answering to the best of his knowledge and experience .. to shed light on the events of that night and the next day when he got the call, early that morning, from Lilly Williams, the mother of Hank Williams. It was the 1st of January, 1953. Charles Carr, the driver of the 53 Cadillac which belonged to Hank, was able to answer some of Mr. Tyree's questions, years later. Here he reveals those answers for perhaps the first time to the public...and others, putting to rest some of the myths and legends and establishing the hard facts from the eyewitness, the driver, Charles Carr, by phone some years later, and what Mr. Tyree knew to be true from experience.

      The idea of taking God out of the schools is somewhat misunderstood. God is in the hearts of people regardless of the building, be it church, school, shopping mall, grocery store, etc. God can't be taken out of the human heart... It won't work that way. Hitler and Stalin both tried it....... and failed.

      He may have froze to death. Or it may have been the pills his quack doctor gave him. Too bad no one cared about him. His wife was bad news as was his mother.

      The problem was lack of editing…was he stiff popped into my head…but the degree of rigimortis will tell you the approximate time of death. A mortician for example would know. Embalmed? also good question. People want to know … so little was known and there was lots of conjecture rumors that had developed into local myth. So let’s start at the beginning with the one person who knew only facts and could put myth and rumor (and Hank) to rest.
