William married Olive Opal CLYATT, Jan. 10, 1910 at Ft. Call, FL. The couple lived in Union County, FL for several years before purchasing and moving to their farm at Dunnellon, FL. On a trip to neighboring Hernando county, he and Olive fell in love with the picturesque, tree-lined, brick streets of Brooksville, so in 1916 they moved there. William built the home they lived in the remainder of their married life, raising two great-nieces of Olive's.
While working as the Hernando County Building Inspector, William fell through a roof, suffering severe injuries which resulted in his death a few days later.
