Guillaume Sprawl was the first of the Sprawl clan to come to America, emigrating from Chateau Guillaume, France on the good ship Beeflower with the intent of finding a new world and a life free of Tornadoes. Unfortunately, Guillaume's life was not free of tornadoes, but fortunately it was free of other natural disasters because he, along with his bretheren dug the first posts which became the first crude balsa wood doors which became the first trailer homes which became the first and oldest part of Billville. With such a great natural resource as the nearby twister, Bills of all sorts flocked to Billville and soon, Guillaume married Willa Bubbles, a young and pretty saloon dancer and part-time prostitute from Upper Lowerton, PA. The Bubbles clan has certainly made its mark on the Sprawl lineage, as Sprawls throughout the business history of our town have been screwing any Bill they can. In the late-19th century, Guillaume and Willa had a son they named Wilhelm although Guillaume always insisted it was actually the son of Guillaume P'nisnose, the recently hanged former mayor of Billville. A rebellious sort, Wilhelm left Billville for a time only to return as a prosperous salted elkmeat salesman with a mysterious foreign woman named Edna Johns who claimed to be from "up north" but whose past is shrouded in mystery. Wilhelm and Edna gave birth to two sons, both named William, before Edna died of Childbirth. Both Williams were quite successful in their time, founding the Billville National Bank and raising a good, clean, American family of Bills until one day, the elder William realized that the family was actually that of the younger William and shot himself. The younger William himself died of apoplexy in 1963 after reading the book '52,000 Baby Names' and is survived today by his only son not to have been carried away by the tornadoes, Bill Sprawl.
