Seeking Name of Missing Son of Herman Wille of Louisville, KY

Classification: Query
I am looking for the son of Herman & Veronica Wille whose widow, Josephine Wille, is mentioned in his mother's will, which she wrote in 1911. This son was probably born 1857 - 1860 and may have been born in Germany (Prussia) or KY. 1880 census shows the Herman Wille family living in Louisville with 4 children. Oldest is daughter Katherine, age 19, born in KY. These 4 children were all still living in 1911 and are mentioned in the will, so there must have been an older son who had already left home by 1880 and who was deceased by 1911. 1880 census shows no single men of that age bracket with last name of Wille living in Louisville and no Josephine Wille either. No indication in the mother's will of this son's name. I'm at a standstill. Anyone know anything? Also looking for info on when this family emigrated from Germany - possibly late 1850's?
