Died in smallpox epidemic, memorial service held almost a month later by Odd Fellows, Flower City Lodge. Was the delay due to so many to bury as a result of epidemic? Rev. Albert Evans of Westminster Presbyterian officiated. Went to Poughkeepsie, NY, to study for the ministry but was called home to help the family. according to Chuck Schmidt. Was a book-keeper at the time of the Milton and Emily courtship correspondence.
From one of his granddaughters, we have the story of his death. During From one of his granddaughters, we have the story of his death. During the smallpox epidemic in Rochester in 1902, he developed a small rash on his forehead. He did not feel ill, but went to a doctor for diagnosis. The doctor told him that he possibly had smallpox. He recommended that as a precaution Will go to the camp on the Genesee River where smallpox victims were quarantined. Will wanted to protect his family, so he went. After he had been there a few days, his wife called the camp to inquire about him. She was told he was doing well and would be released soon and that he wanted her to bring him an apple pie. She made the pie, but when she delivered it to the camp, she was told he was dead. His descendants still struggle with the possibility that he was healthy when he went to the camp and contracted smallpox there. However, because he was the treasurer of the carpenters union, they feel he might have gotten smallpox from handling the money. [Interview with Genevieve Cole Hall, August, 2001]
