The US Census of 1880 shows him living in the household of Elija R. McCurdy, Justice Precinct 5, Bell County, Texas, Page 392A, Line 3.

Williams, who he married in 1910, three years after the death of Caroline. William filed for divorce from Lula Appleby on January 19, 1912. This may be her.

The 1910 Census shows Wid is a widower, living on a farm in southern Cleveland County. His former mother-in-law, Lucy Newblock was living with him and three sons.
He married Sarah "Sadie" Motsenbocker 1 Aug 1914 and the two remained in Cleveland, Oklahoma until he died in 1950 and she died in 1945.
