- Obituary from an Ada newspaper
Bill came from Norman County to visit his Goodhue County kin on a more or less annual basis, by walking, by hopping trains, and by horse back. He was hunchbacked to a degree. I was told he worked sometimes for a veterinarian in Ada, and that the vet would lend him a horse to go part way on the trip. Where the horse was left until he came back for it, I do not know. He never came to our house on a horse. He was always walking then.
