Note
nickname: "Big Billy" Served in the Civil War as a Corporal in Co. I, 39th Kentucky Mounted Infantry
Note
His third wife was Artha Mae Justice, b 9 JUL 1859, d 11 MAR 1914. (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/S5SR-9DK) Billy and Artha were murdered together while harboring Artha's battered daughter. I finally found a list of AMJ's kids from her first marriage. Rosa Belle Smith died 13 MAR 1914 in Chehalis.
Note
Probate case files for his estate are here: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11899-33769-23?cc=1454946&wc=12951659 These contain some interesting tidbits.
Note
Buried at Greenwood Cemetery, Chehalis WA Inscription: CORPL. WM. HAGERMAN CO. I KY INF http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=36338850
Note
1870 Census shows him living w Permelia/Amelia, son William (1 yo) in Carter County, Kentucky.
Note
It looks like WHH Sr had another wife or at least relationship. The newspaper article listed under WHH Jr refers to half siblings of WHH Jr.: Wade Hagerman, Jack Hagerman, and Mrs. Bessie Greever. I've found a Wade Hagerman, b 1895. Who was the adopted son of John and Lizzie Wynn. Amelia Jacobs, WHH Sr's first wife, died in 1893. Wade in 1910 Census: <https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MPGB-8YL> 1900 Census is showing William Hagerman, 56 with wife Virginia, 25; kids Wade, 6 and Bessey, 3. <https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MMFK-56Q> Now, who was Virginia?
Note
1910 Census shows him in Chehalis with Winona's family. Oddly, Artha Mae Justice is living separately with six of her kids in Sulphur Creek, roughly 60 miles away. She's listed as Artie Hagerman, though.
