Arthur Llewllyn Williams was the second diocesan bishop of Nebraska in The Episcopal Church.[6] He was elected coadjutor bishop in 1899 over the opposition of those who called him a "ritualist" or too high church.[7] He served in that capacity until Bishop George Worthington died in 1908.[8] He died in office in 1919.[9]
