When he was two years old his parents came to Henry County, Missouri, settling in Clinton, and it was here that William was reared and educated. In 1873 he entered the employ of S. Blatt, with whom he remained until September, 1880, when he engaged in the livery business. He is now enjoying a most liberal and successful trade, having twenty-eight rigs and thirty-seven head of horses, constituting about as well an equipped stable as there is in Clinton.
