Notes:
Dad went to school in a 'one-room' by the family homestead (now the Sparta Town Hall), Geneseo, and graduated from Dansville High. Drank a lot in early years-probably helped lead to divorce-nor was he terribly ambitious-food, clothing, shelter was enough. His contemporaries were working way up in their various professions. In late 30's had an Angina attack. Went to bed for a year-stopped drinking. Lived with Grandma Sutfin on the farm, with Betty on Elizabeth Street and had a room at Morgan's. He and Jay finally rented a house on School Street next to the Little League field. He coached several years.
William married Marjorie Elizabeth Sutfin about 1930. Marjorie (daughter of Harry Sutfin and Lillian A. Call) was born on 09 May 1910 in Dansville, Steuben County, New York; died on 25 May 1980 in Geneseo, Livingston County, New York; was buried in Dansville, Steuben County, New York.

Notes:
Betty told me her mother (after she left Elroy?) brought her to the family homestead in the winter. No one was there and she started a fire to keep them warm. Mother died in the flue epidemic. Betty was raised by her grandparents, Myron and Elizabeth. Never told anyone she was pregnant with Michael. He was a late in life baby. She was always heavy so no one suspected. Didn't go to a doctor. Then one day there he was.
