William worked as a coal miner in Knox County, Kentucky. He developed black lung disease and moved his family to Indiana to seek a better way of life. A few years later, he finally settled in Hamilton, Ohio. By the time he reached Hamilton, he was too sick to hold a steady job, and lived on disability and welfare while trying to raise 6 children. His quest for a better life was never realized. But thanks to his efforts, his children and grandchildren don't have to suffer the hard life he had.
