A few years later the family moved to Cass County in southwest Iowa, and in 1900 William, 15, was living with his parents and his brothers Scoville and Ray in Edna Township.

On 17 December 1902, in Cass County, he married Emma Jennie Waldron, a daughter of Malon Waldron. He gave his age as nineteen and she gave hers as twenty. The marriage record names both sets of parents. The family remembers the wedding as December 1903.

Their first son, Harold Jesse, was born in 1903. By 1909 the family had moved west to Idaho Falls, Idaho, where their daughter Dolores was born that February. They went on to Fallon, a farming town on an irrigation project in western Nevada, and stayed there.
