Narrative
William evidently had no surviving children by his first wife. In 1900 they had been married 9 years. There were no children in the home in 1900 or 1910.
His first wife, Estelle Foster, died July 25, 1915. (Hutton index in Maine and findagrave say 1914). William is not buried with her. She seems to be in a Foster family plot with her sister, her sister's husband, and a Mary Foster.
