Following his doctor's advice, he traveled west for relief of his condition. He first worked in Nebraska and Baggs, Wyoming. He married Ada Annette Adair in 1882 and worked in North Bend, Nebraska, before moving his family to a homestead three miles east of Holyoke, in 1886. Their small prairie home was a dirt dugout. The following spring, a daughter was born, but died ten days later. In 1892, one-year old Ethel died from a snake bite. While the Hekkand family struggled with tragedy, the drought and no livestock, they somehow managed. After nine hard years on the prairie, they were able to sell their land and purchase a place in town. William became the first justice of the peace, first town assessor, county judge and clerk of the district court for twenty-four years. He was the driving force, and contributed monetarily to the building of the Methodist Church of Holyoke. Unfortunately, he died before the church was completed. He is buried with his wife Ada, who died in 1924.
