William's birth state is reported as Mississippi in 1910, 1920 and 1940. I have not found Will and Katie in the 1930 census. One genealogy reports his birth in LeFlore County, Oklahoma. This is the later Oklahoma county where his family lived in Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory, as reproted above, before Will was married. He and Katie lived just south of there in Latimer, then moved west into McClain by 1920.

William's first wife Kathryn died in 1954, and he married Fannie Gooch that soon afterwards. The obituary of his second wife has a different date of death than William's grave. the date of death on his grave is Dec. 5, 1967, while the obituary says he died on Dec. 5, 1957. The year of 1967 is confirmed by the Social Security Death Index.
