Arthur Llewllyn Williams (January 30, 1856 – January 28, 1919) was the second diocesan bishop of Nebraska in The Episcopal Church.[2] He was elected coadjutor bishop in 1899 over the opposition of those who called him a "ritualist" or too high church.[citation needed] He served in that capacity until Bishop George Worthington died in 1908.[3] He died in office in 1919.[4]
Williams was born on January 30, 1856 in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada.[5][6] He died on January 28, 1919 in Omaha, Nebraska, United States.[7][8]
