His mother was Lucy (McColley) McColley (1851-1916), who was divorced from his father about 1882; they were cousins. She then married William George.
When he was about 14 years old, he and his brother, Lyman, were sent to the Indiana Reform School for petty larceny. A newspaper article recorded that "they are bright boys but their associations have been of the lowest order and calculated to make vagabonds and criminals of them. They should be sent to the Reform School at Plainfield, where they will be under strict discipline, and taught to work, and will be given a fair English education." Lyman died at the school about a year later.
