He had the same employer as in 1918 (Great Northern Railroad in Hillyard.) His contact person was his father-in-law, G. F. Bursell (1871-1964,) of 1103 Sinto in Spokane. William and Ruby Pearl Bursell (1894-1992) married circa 1921. They seem to have not had any children; none are listed as being in their household in either the 1930 or 1940 US Census enumerations. Both of those Census reports show the couple living in East Spokane, Washington, and both show William working as an automobile mechanic. -------------------------------------- Inscription and plot came from survey by Maggie Rail, 2001-2012 mrail.net/data/cemete/wash/ spokane/greenwood/index.htm -------------------------------------- Additional information was taken from U.S., World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918; U.S., World War II Draft Registration Cards, 1942; US Census enumerations for 1910 (with mother, sister, stepfather, and maternal grandmother in Vincennes, Knox, Indiana,) 1920 (with family of brother Sylvester in Spokane, Spokane, Washington,) 1930 and 1940 (with spouse in East Spokane;) and Washington Death Index, 1940-1996.
