From "The Philanthropic Works Of Angie Williams Cox" by Thomas Reineck. This is found at the Wisconsin State Historical Society.

Robert Morris Williams was born 1856 and died 1931. He Married America Angeline Smith.(date?) They spent the first year of their marriage on his fathers farm in Marcellon, Wis. In 1869 they moved to Pardeeville, Wisconsin where Robert worked as a Blacksmith. Between 1869 and 1898. Robert worked at 10 different jobs and moved to 13 different towns. The jobs he held were: Blacksmith, Carpenter, Telegrapher, Lumberjack, Hunter, Farmer, Practical Hypnotist, Newspaper Editor, Photographer, and Boater. The towns in which he resided were: Pardeeville, Wis.; Portage Wis.; Medford Wis., Chippewa Crossing, Wis.; Bayfield, Wis.; Glidden, Wis.; Norwich, New York; Fairport, Iowa; Decatur, Ala.; Huntsville, Ala.; Florence, Ala.; and Nashville, Tennessee. One person said of him, "he was intellectually well-equipped but financially bankrupt." He said of himself, " The world do move, the cranks do move it" Thus, he named his newspaper in Pardeeville, Wis. "The Crank".
