Inscription on Headstone: "Died on a mission at Los Angelos Cal. Sleep William dear, and take your rest. God called you home. He thought it best. T'was hard indeed to part with thee. But Christ's strong arm supporteth me. You knew not the vile of the wicked. You cared not the depth of the sea. You heed but the voice of the captain, Who called from the letter box 'B'."
