Classification: Obituary
They never do or did get his name right. Those who don't know, my Great-Grandfather John Olin ran off with a married woman named Etta Bell (Calder) Thresher. Until recently, we thought Willmount "Bill" was an Olin. Turns out that when Etta ran off with John, she took her youngest with her, changed his last name and never told him. To add insult to injury, Willmount was born in 1907, not 1904 as he thought, so he was just shy of his 101st birthday. This is from the Aurora Beacon Newspaper (Sun-Times News Group)
