  63.   The exact place of birth is uncertain. In his Army record, 1917, his birthplace is listed as Towner, D.T. [Dakota Territory] His marriage license issued in 1948 has a blank for "Birth place [City and State]". He stated "Towner, N.D." There is a city called Towner in McHenry County and there is a Towner County. The city of Towner was not founded until 1886, two years after William's birth. Since the county of Towner was founded in 1883 and geographically lies on the Canadian border adjacent to Rolette County, site of the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation where the family was later recorded, we will assume that the county is the correct interpretation.
