  During the Civil War, William joined the Union by enlisting in Cook county. He mustered in 31 May 1864 in Company D, 134th Illinois Infantry. He mustered out 25 October 1864 with the rest of the regiment in Chicago. The regiment was organized at Camp Fry, Chicago, and mustered in for 100 days, May 31, 1864, by Colonel Waters W. McChesney. It was among scores of regiments that were raised in the summer of 1864 and known as Hundred Days Men, an effort to augment existing manpower for an all-out push to end the war within 100 days. It moved to Columbus, Kentucky, June 6-8, attached to District of Columbus. The men had garrison duty at Columbus until October 1864.
