During the fight his nose was broken and he lost on a decision. He was a avid hunter and fisherman, taking trips to Canada to fish.

William Henry was one of the finest finish carpenters in the mid-west area, having worked on a number of buildings and homes in the Omaha area.

For all the positive things about him, he was a very bitter and hateful person. He refused to speak to his own daughter, Alice, for many years.
