Excerpt from his father's diary:
"May 22, 1901. Went to mill in the morning. About 6:00 P.M. Sarah gave birth to a baby boy. Grandma waited on her and she got along very well. Christened him William Jesse."
Son of Oliver Morton and Sarah Frances Davis Wallen. Married and divorced Iva Illinois Townsend. Children: Frances Mary Jean, Robert Leroy, Billy Athol. Married second, Dorothy. William is buried in the same grave over his brother Charles Homer. That information comes from his nephew Charles Wallen via William's sister Sula. Excerpt from Charles' notes:
"During a conversation between Sula and my wife and I at her home in Elsinore in 1985, she related the following; She and her brother James Hobart went to Tuscon, Arizona upon being notified of their brother William's death. They claimed the cremated remains of William and took them back to Sula's home in Elsinore. Then came the question - what to do with the remains? Neither one of them had much money, so, according to Sula "one night they took the remains to the Elsinore Cemetery and dug a hole into their brother Charles' grave and put William's remains in it." Knowing Sula, I tend to believe this story. I leave it here for what it's worth.
