Note: Evidence for William's birth year conflicts. His death certificate, obituary, and gravestone information are provided by his sister Nina Inness McKeag, and report his birth year as 1886. However, more contemporary evidence, such as the 1885 Nebraska census and the 1900 U.S. Census for Nebraska say his birth year is 1885.
