William "Bill" Overton died on Saturday, July 15, 2023, on the same farm in the Town of Oshkosh where he was born on August 22, 1928, to George and Matilda (Bahrke) Overton. He graduated from Oshkosh High School and continued his work of improving the family farm. Bill became a Master Mason on March 27, 1951, and helped establish the scholarship fund at Winneconne Masonic Lodge.

On June 7, 1952, he married Lila Steffenson, and they farmed together and raised their family until her death after 64 years of marriage. Bill enjoyed moose hunting in Canada, and he always had time for a good "bull session." Family and friends were vital to his longevity. Surviving are his children, Susan, John, and Charles (Cindy); grandchildren, Jennifer (Joe) Berg, Nicole (Scott) Hilbelink, Rebecca (Marvin) Millls, David Blaauw (friend Evlyn Carley), KateLynn (Nathan) Schneider, Nicholas (Kristi) Overton, Matthew (Tana) Overton, Ryan (Brooke) Overton, Aimee (Dan) Klein, Michelle (Anurup) Kanaknhalli, and Kristin (Jason) Walker; great-grandchildren, Justin, Jordan, Jessica, Wyatt, Joey, Greyson, Elizabeth, William, Sophie, Hunter, Skylar, Conner, Riley, Hezekiah, Dakota, and Bristol; and many more valued family and friends. Along with his parents and wife Bill was also preceded in death by a daughter, Katharine; grandson, Nathaniel; sisters, Mary Jane and Elizabeth; brothers, George, Thomas, James, John, and Paul; and brother-in-law, John.

A special thank you to Raymond for his care and assistance in Bill's final weeks.

Services will be held Wednesday, July 26, 2023, at Trinity Episcopal Church, 311 Division St. Oshkosh, with visitation from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. followed by a Masonic service and the Rite of Christian Burial. Interment will be in the Plummer Cemetery with a lunch to follow at the farm. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to the Winneconne Masonic Lodge scholarship fund.
