Notes
Cemetery records (transcriptions) and the family record (below) have Willie's birth year as 1892. The 1900 census (image) and the death record (transcription) have his birth year as 1893. I'm going with 1893 because the marriage record (image) of Willie's parents shows October 1892.
Pictures/Memorabilia
None at this time.
