From LW: I was just talking to Mom about Will Fall.   He probably
lived until the 1950s.  Mom talked a lot about him.   Will had a
chicken farm in PA.  His first wife had mental problems and ultimately
killed herself, either by poison or burned down the house?  That may
have happened before Mom was born.  Mom knew his second wife.  She
died during the time Mom was in high school possibly TB or cancer? 
Her sister had come to live with them and take care of her.  She was
originally a switchboard operator at the college.  After Will's second
wife died the sister continued to live at the farm for several years. 
They also spent their winters together in Florida.  Mom didn't think
anyone was very concerned about the arrangement.  However, everyone
apparently liked her.  They did ultimately get married.  In the end
Will outlived even her.  She said that he went to live in Florida full
time but was not sure if he might have returned to Hartville before he
died.

Will Fall Gravestone

I think that this is his gravestone located beside Isaac Fall's gravestone at the East Nimishillen Church Cemetery.

That makes sense.  Mom did say she thought he moved back to Hartville.

Interestingly, I could not find his death online in the Ohio Death Index.
