AVENUE Henry LAFAYETTE CHAPEL, 38 Lafayette Ave. Grant Williams, Retired Cop, Dies Former Lieutenant, Bureau Head, Alone When Death Came -Was 64 Private funeral services will be conducted in Patchogue for Grant Williams, retired police lieutenant who organized and first head of the Missing Persons seas Bureau. Burial also will be private in a Patchogue cemeterenant Williams, believed to have been the victim of a hemorrhage late Tuesday was found dead in a furnished room at 244 W. 75th Manhattan, shortly after noon yesterday.

He was in his 65th year, and was retired in 1918 because of ill health. He was a member of the police department for 21 years. Leaving his trade as carpenter, Mr. Williams joined the police department in May, 1897. He was promoted to sergeant in 1905 and in 1913 was made a lieutenant after first having been transferred to the detective division in 1911.

It was because of the hue and cry of an enraged populace following the failure to identify Timothy D. (Big Tim) Sullivan, powerful Tammany leader in 1913, whose body lay in the morgue for more than ten days after he had been killed by a train in the Bronx, that Lieutenant Williams was given an opportunity to head the Bureau of Unidentified Dead, later changed to the Missing Persons Bureau. Lieutenant Williams was placed in charge of the bureau by the then Police Commissioner Arthur Woods because of his uncanny talent for tracing and identifying dead persons. He once was credited with tracing a man who had torn out all identifying marks from his clothing and traveled from his home in Manhattan to Richmond Hill to commit suicide by leaping in front of a railroad train. Lieutenant Williams discovered that the back of the shirt been torn and not cut.

He examined the area in the vicinity of the suicide inch by inch for a quarter of a mile until he found the missing piece on which was a laundry label that later identified the man.
