Additional Comments:
William died in a fire at Charles, Mackinac, Michigan while preparing cabins 
for the summer tourist season.  Gasoline lantern exploded and setting him on 
fire.  He went back in to retrieve his money he left inside and came back out 
on fire again which did him in.  Died a few days later.  His sons went to 
northern Michigan to recover his body and bring him home.  Information comes 
from family and the newspaper article about the incident.
