William "Bill" was a crusading newspaper man who dared to challenge the corrupt political party who ruled Jim Wells County. He was murdered one morning on his way to work by a sheriffs deputy. The townspeople appreciated what he had been trying to do and donated the money to erect a large grave marker.
