Wow! The internet is great. I found another hero in my family, I knew nothing about! I am writing my family history and came to William's name and had no information beyond his name and birth and now to find a hero, can't wait to tell the family. I wish I could contact these members . Son of a Maternal Reames, Milo Bowers @ Face Book.
