In 1886 he married Amanda Jenkins and they went on to raise a family of eight children, having lost an infant son. William was a life long farmer, having owned a farm in both Kentucky and Oklahoma.

William died of injuries sustained in a car accident in South Haven, Kansas.∼My intention is not to break find a grave's rules, but as the original manager of this account is inactive and attempts to reach find a grave to have it transferred to me, in theinterest of updating this account, I have started a new one.
