Dear Lincoln County Conservatives,

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Melvin Williams.

Melvin was a longtime dairy farmer in Waldoboro. A dedicated advocate for agriculture, he served as Maine Farm Bureau state director for Knox/Lincoln counties and helped secure the diesel fuel sales tax exemption for farmers. He and his wife Carol raised their family in the community he loved.

Melvin was a committed Lincoln County Republican. He served as Vice Chair and then Chair of the Lincoln County Republican Committee in 2018. He also ran as a Republican for Lincoln County Commissioner, Maine House District 91, and Waldoboro Select Board.

Most recently, he served on the RSU 40 Board of Directors, representing Waldoboro, and was seeking re-election at the time of his passing.

Melvin will be remembered as a hardworking, principled conservative who brought real-world experience and strong values to everything he did. He will be greatly missed.

Our thoughts are with Carol and the entire family. Funeral and memorial details will be shared when available.
