Old Bill is dead. We refer to the old white horse owned by Capt. Bascom, and known all about here as the Dr. Ambler horse.

He was an old settler, how old no honest man would dare to state, and had probably traveled more miles in Allamakee than any other horse living or dead. If there is a heaven for horses, and there ought to be one for livery horses where traveling men and love-sick youths are not permitted to come, Old Bill is there enjoying a well deserved rest.

~Lansing Mirror, Friday, January 5, 1883; pg 3
