Biography

William was born in 1879. He was the son of Timothy Ward and Amanda Gatton. He passed away in 1966.

Posted on Findagrave.com: Willie Ward maintained a life-long contact, through visits and correspondence, with his cousins in Indiana. He and Katie were a lively pair, deeply devoted to one another. They were married March 10, 1902, at Argentine (Wyandotte Co.) a community afterward annexed to Kansas City, Kansas. They had no children. They farmed in Kansas for several years, but eventually moved to Los Angeles. Willie became a real estate salesman, and Katie managed their home and rooming house at 829 S. Bonnie Brae street. They had 14 tenants in 1930, including Katie's sister, Mary. The others were mostly young adults whose occupations ranged from clerks to janitor, truck driver, and actress.

Burial - Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, Los Angeles County, California.
