He only stopped then because he suffered a broken hip after being struck by a car. They were active members of the Centralia Assembly of God Church where William served as a deacon for many years. After 62 years of marriage, Martha passed away in 1964 and William in 1973. They are buried side by side at Caluqato Cemetery in Chehalis, Lewis, WA.
