The Tragic Hank Williams Family Legacy

[@denniscasey284]

I am 78 years old. I saw him in 1951 at Gannon Auditorium. Absolutely brilliant. I cried the day he died. I have played music for 60 years. The first 50 in bars and clubs. The last 10 in church. Yes I knew Hank was a troubled man. Myself I am 33 yrs sober or I would have died a long time ago.

Thank you for sharing a part of your life and we're happy to know that you have been sober for a long time. Stay strong ❤

Louisiana hayride was the show he was on not one of his songs and his weight dropped when he was ill not ballooned

His own mother is buried with an upside down "witch's pentagram" on her grave headstone. It is a symbol from her Eastern Star Masonic female lodge. She ran a house of repute and called it a "boarding house" too. Lilly Williams was her name if you want to verify this.

Love Hank, Sr., Hank, Jr. and Hank III. I didn't know there was a 4th Hank, so I'll check him out, too.

[@marthahowell7541]

Hank Sr. birth name was, Hiram King Williams.

[@FactsVerse]

Fun stuff, thanks for sharing!

[@dekelanson5280]

That's right. Hiram took the name Hank cause he felt it sounded more manly.

The result of the original autopsy indicated that Williams died of a heart attack. Author Colin Escott concluded in his book Hank Williams: The Biography that the cause of death was heart failure caused by the combination of alcohol, morphine and chloral hydrate.

[@stolman2197]

Hank Sr had heart issues that also played a part in his death. His doctor was charged for accepting $25k to keep him in pain pills. Jr lost a daughter in a car accident as well.

Time to check on your info on IV - Hank 3's son goes by IV, the other fella you added at 8:25 is not IV but goes by the name Hank Williams IV. He is some how related to the original Hank Williams but not a son of Bocephus or 3. IV and Hank Williams IV are 2 different people. Confusing right?

Sad fact: we are an ordinary family, and we shoot good videos, but people don't subscribe to us and don't see our videos 😔😔

Hank didn't sign with MGM in 46. He first signed with Sterling records. He first recorded with MGM in April 47.

[@LoriliiJacobsen]

Hank III is a really nice guy and very talented guy. He looks so much like his grandfather that its uncanny. His dad didnt have much to do with him when he was growing up and is rarely mentioned as being a part of the Williams family. Listen to his album, Brotherhood of the 4X4. Its great!

[@michaelgrow8630]

It's been documented he wanted to a black woman the country version of Billie holiday.

[@ericgarringer6911]

His momma must have been a hell of a woman Hank once said there was nobody he'd rather having watching his back in a bar fight apparently she was hell on wheels with a broken beer bottle in her hand
