     After the birth of Uriah's and second wife Arminda Coons second child, for what ever reason, Will was essentially ejected from the Uriah Pratt house hold. Since there was still snow on the ground, this must have occurred in early spring. As a result, Will spent several months living in a corn crib stealing milk from his father's cow to survive. At that point, a kindly neighbor took him in and apprenticed him as a cabinet maker. Bill's wife Mollie never forgave Uriah for his treatment of her husband and limited her children's contact with their grandfather.⁹ William
     Bill probably left home during the winter of 1883 when he was around 14 years of age. He first apprenticed as cabinet maker but also worked at many other jobs.

Then, in the evenings, Molly would use horse liniment to message the knots and cramps from his arms while the boys sharpened his two dozen or so drill bits. In the winter, the boys took turns pouring hot water over their fords block and cranking it until it started (Norm actually broke an arm cranking that car). The saddest memory that Norm had was of a visit to his father who while he lay dieing and being told by his father what would be expected of Norm after his father's death. Another of Norm's memories of he and his brother fighting Sundays over who would get the quarter and run to fetch beer in their dad's beer pail.^10,9
