In his early adulthood, he spent some time in Springfield, Illinois where he worked for a time at a bowling green as a pin-setter. A regular patron of the game was a noted local lawyer named Abraham Lincoln. One day Lincoln struck up a conversation with Bill because of his tall stature - 6 ft 3.5 inch in stocking feet. Abe told him, "It's not often I have the opportunity to talk with someone on my level!" This became a cherished family memory and told and retold over the years. (story told by Robert Sollars) William died on July 29, 1914 in Charleston, Iowa.
