Notes from Rulon J. Callsiter

Uncle Bill was older than Dad. When Grandma married

Major Holt, Bill and his step dad didn't get along, so Bill left home

about when he was 15 or 16 to make h is own way. I don't know when or where but he worked in the mines and sh eared sheep. Of course, he picked up habits, smoking and drinking. He married Ina Blood, a sister to Elmer Blood from Groveland. He had two children, both girls.

Unfortunately, he came home unexpectedly and found his wife in bed with another man, so Bill divorced her. The daughters live somewhere in Oregon. I have never met them nor do know their names.

 Bill used to come around to see Dad and the family.  He always made a big fuss over the children and spoiled them.  He would take them to the circus, etc.  He was a rough talking person but big hearted.  When Dad was on his mission, Bill loaned him some money to help h im.  Dad did pay it back. 

 Bill , William Henry , married Inez Blood 4 August 1901.   After his

divorce, he later married Phyllis Raine Fryer, 1925. Th ey lived in

Salt Lake. She had some children by her first husband. I think he died.

Mother and I visisted them wh ile we were living in Salt Lake City. 

To my knowledge, Bill was never sealed to anyone. All of us liked Uncle Billbecause he made a fuss over all of u s. He used to drive a Model T pick up and would take us places.
