When Willis was 21 he married Margaret Olive Burch on Sep 5 1897. They had eight children, all linked below.
Willis worked as a farm laborer for other farmers. In 1910 he moved the family to Galveston Texas so her could hire with a grower there. By 1912 he was back in Indiana again where his younger children were born. In the early 1920s the family lived adjoining his wife Margaret's family, possibly on Burch family property. By 1928 he had purchased property on the Tramway Road which he farmed without great success.
Willis' wife died in 1929 of stomach cancer. By then some of the older children had left home.
Willis sold off part of his land in 1928 and 1938 later moving in with his son, Alva, in Bloomington, Indiana, and later still, with his son, Cresson in Issaquah, Washington. Willis also lived with his daughter, Emma, and her family before his death in 1943. Cause of death was heart disease coupled with an earlier stroke.
