He was a member of the United Methodist Church and served on the building committee for the new church and parsonage. A member since 1905, he had been chairman of the board of trustees and a lay member to the annual conference.
He was trustee emeritus for life when he died.
Bill helped organize the National Farm Loan Association of Ness City in 1917 and served the association for 43 years. When he retired in 1960, his years of service exceeded those of any other officer in the U.S. He was also
