      William died of a heart attack July 14, 1945, while working as an engineer of a S.F.P. & P. train. He was on a regular L.A.-Phoenix passenger run near Wickenburg. The train was traveling about 55 M.P.H. with William at the helm, when his fireman noticed that William had been stricken.
      He apparently died instantly. The fireman took the train on to Wickenburg, while the brakeman took over the job of firing the train.
