Notes
a. Note:   William (Bill) was raised in Oto Iowa and learned Farming at a young age. As a boy, William recalled building a radio from scratch with his friend Wayne Kemp. The family also tells me he and some friends put together a boat in the school basement, only later to find out it was too large to get out. Later as a young man he was able to get a try outwith the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. He ended up not making the team after throwing out his arm. In 1937 he and some friends traveled west by car and found work in California as farm hands near Stockton. Bill also worked as a Lumber Jack & as a Boiler Operator at a sugar refinery in Hamilton City. Eventually Bill worked as a carpenter and for the Chico, Ca. school district as the maintenance superintendent.
