He became the step-father to 2 boys: Wallace & Ronald Pearson. Bill & Mabel continued to live in Salem for some years, then moved to CA and finally to Idaho.
My father had been a logger in OR for many years working as "a faller". Mabel is also buried here at Park View. She was born in North Dakota.
