Butler Post Office renamed for ‘Civil War hero’
Andrew Gomer Williams
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill Monday that would rename the U.S. Post Office at 345 S. Main St. in Butler the Andrew Gomer Williams Post Office Building.
The bill, which passed unanimously by voice vote, is supported by the entire Pennsylvania delegation in the House. It now heads to the Senate.
A Monday news release from U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly’s office said he led the effort to honor a “Civil War hero.”
"Andrew Gomer Williams lived a life of service to his community and country, and I am proud to cement his legacy in our nation’s history," Kelly said. "I would like to thank my colleagues for their support in honoring this heroic man. I also encourage everyone to read his life story. Mr. Williams was a remarkable man."
