Son of William Wills, 1800-1848, and Darcus Coleman Waite Wills, 1807-1871.
Married Etta A. Ellis, February 20, 1892, in Houston County, TX
From the COURIER in 1906
Mr. W.W. Wills died at his home north of Lovelady last Friday night. About two months ago, Mr. Wills became ill of erysipelas, and after a few weeks it was thought by the attending physician that he would recover; but fatty degeneration of the tissues set in, accompanied by fever of long duration, which resulted in softening of the brain, and after eight weeks of suffering, Mr. Wills, though of robust constitution, succumbed.
The funeral obsequies were held Saturday. Mr. Wills is survived by a family. He was one of the best and most substantial citizens of the county, being a true man in every respect.
Houston County has lost much in his death and the COURIER feels keenly the loss of another true and tried friend. One by one the land-marks are passing away and a new generation is appearing on the scene. One by one the duties of citizenship are falling on new shoulders.
