• Notes

  William was a farmer, teamster, and logger. He and his wife started housekeeping in a log cabin but as the family grew they built a larger house. In 1915, he went to Oklahoma to see about homesteading but the land didn't suit him. The family moved to Webberville in 1906. He was village marshall and for many years Deputy Sheriff. He was a hardworking man and his family came first in everything. He had a stroke in 1939 and spent the last five years of his life in bed. One reference says his middle name was Lemuel and that he was born in 1854. The name of his wife is uncertain.
