Before his death, he learned to drive a three-ox team and became so good at it that he was given the honor of driving the number one wagon. Sadly some days that they were to start there journey, Willie died after falling sick to malaria.

Despite Willie's death, his father was determined to keep his promise to his son, so he and the elders of the sect built a sturdy, wooden coffin and lined it with lead.

It was carefully placed in the number one wagon, which Willie had hoped to drive.
