| Notes |
- William attended Mineral Point, Wisconsis schools and followed lead mining near Mineral Point, Wisconsin as a young man.
At the age of 15 or 16, William served as a private in the Black Hawk War. He took an active part in some of the battles taking place within a few miles of the family home near Willow Springs and Mineral Point, Wisconsin. He later drew a pension for his service.
He practiced medicine in Fayette, Wisconsin from 1844 to 1868 and served two terms as treasurer of Fayette township.
In 1849, he went with his brother-in-law overland to California in the gold rush joining a company at Westport (now Kansas City), Missouri. Because he was a physician, his time was taken up entirely with medical services so that he had no time to prospect for gold. He returned to Fayette, Wisconsin in 1851. He wrote to his "father" Dr. L. from the gold fields and he and his wife were close to the Loofbourrow children from the third marriage.
In 1867, he became a member of the State Assembly and made a good record in that body.
He was a member of the Smith Lodge, No. 31, A.F.& A.M; Palestine Chapter, No. 2, R.A.M; Janesville commandery, No. 2, K.T; I.O.O.F.; Knights of Pythias; and a valued member of Wisconsin State Medical Society and the Southwestern Medical Society - organization of physicians in southern Wisconsin. He was a Republican.
As late as 1868 he was a member of the medical firm of Monroe & Monroe in Monroe, Wisconsin which was a thriving medical practice. He continued his medical practice well past the age of 80. He was also a trustee at the Christian Church of Monroe, Wisconsin.
He was a diligent student of the more abstruse phases of his profession and a faithful practitioner in the city and adjoining country.
William was an old settler of Monroe, Wisconsin and had a host of friends throughout Green County and southern Wisconsin.
William was a representative in the Wisconsin Stat Legislature and held other honorable appointments. William and Mary had 10 children.
