	Tennessee Newspaper Hall of Fame
		Percy Williams started in newspapering at age 12 by carrying the Birmingham (Ala.) News and went on eventually to establish a west Tennessee newspaper dynasty that spanned four generations of the Williams family.
		Williams was born in Louisville, Miss., in 1892 and by the time he was 12 his family was living in Birmingham.
