"William Riley was a saw sharpener (Millwright) most of his life and followed the lumber industry. That's why they moved to Louisiana about 1913. They also lived in Edabina, Mississippi, and Cape Girardeau, Missouri. He was also a streetcar motorman in Cairo, Illinois, and worked during World War II in Boone, Iowa in a box plant either making ammunition boxes or sharpening the saws."
