William was born at Eagleton, WI on December 9, 1883 to Frederic Ermatinger and Mary Rose. Of Swiss, French, and Indian extraction, he was descended from such noted Ojibwa chieftons as Waubiajujauk and Matchikiwish and counted among his grandmothers the Huron woman Annennontak and the Ojibwa women Wujust and Madeline for whom Madeline Island in Lake Superior was named. William was reared by an old, blind Ojibwa woman known as "Old Noko" (from Nokomis: Ojibwa word for grandmother). Indians frequently visited their Eagleton home, and William became fluent in the Ojibwa tongue.
Married Susan Keyes in St. Paul, MN on April 21. 1916.
Had five sons: Edward (1917), Glenn (1919), Ralph (1921), Leonard (1924), Dennis "Tex" (1933).
