    Anecdote
    • In early life, William was employed by Frederick Mason as clerk
      and store keeper for several years in Norway. He went into
      partnership with A. H. Buell when he bought out his
      brother-in-law's, John P. Mabee's interest in the store.
      William was an extensive dealer in real estate, cattle, butter,
      cheese, and farm produce. In the 1840s, in company with Col.
      A. L. Hemingway, he bought a large quantity of pork and other
      farm produce on speculation. The market failed to meet
      expectations, and the result was serious loss. In later years,
      William's life "passed in straightened circumstances." He
      served the town of Norway in official positions as postmaster,
      town clerk from 1873 to 1876, justice, and was assessor at the
      time of his death. In 1850, William was occupied as a
      builder. This same year found Margaret Mabee, his wife's
      mother aged 65, residing with William and his family. By 1860,
      William was employed as a cattle drove and possessed real
      estate valued at $2,500 with personal property of $900. His
      mother-in-law still resided with him. In 1880, William and his
      wife shared a two family home in Norway with their son and his
      wife
