• Notes

  William attended Pleasant Hill School and the German Evangelical Parochial School in Hoyleton. He was a farmer all his life except about one year, 1901, when he worked for the Granite City Steel Co. at Granite City, Illinois. Wiliam raised registered Holstein and Guersey dairy cattle and during his later years he raised Registered Polled Hereford cattle. During the pre-tractor days he raised horses and mules and it was not unusual to have more horses and mules than cows onthe farm. He quit farming, July of 1967, and celebrated his 100th birthday December 22, 1978. His brother Edard observed his 102nd birthday December 13, 1978.
