His mother wasn't sure which side of the border they were living on when he was born. When he was about eight years old, the family moved to Amery, Wisconsin, where he went to school. He married grace Estella Prouty on December 5, 1886 in Clayton, Wisconsin. He and Grace had eight children in Wisconsin.
Will was a teamster in the woods and a skilled horseman.

In 1900, after the death of their eighth child, Walter Jabez West, the West family moved to South Dakota. They had seven more children in South Dakota. Will and Grace are buried in the Apostolic Lutheran Cemetery south of Lake Norden.

Their children were: Edith "Pearl", Effie "May", Dora, Floyd, Annie "Ruth", Ruby, Sarah, Walter, Francis, Grace, Burdette, Vera, Jessie, Alton "Galen", Joyce "Joe".
