Looking for any and all information about William DODELL, who also went by the name
William DODELLE. He's an enigma. Listed his name as William M. DODELL and as William
B. DODELLE. Probably born between 1889 and 1896. Listed his birthplace as Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania; Idaville, Indiana; or Naples, Italy. Told stories of living in a Catholic
orphage in Pittsburg. Listed his parents as Jacob DODELLE and Mellie EHLER or as Maurice
DODELLE and Maude CHEFFOLO. May have been in vaudeville under the name Billy HARRIS or
Billie HARRIS. Possibly also "The O'DELL's." Married Mabel LITTLE in
Randsburg, Kern, California in 1916. Had one son born 1917 with last name DODELL. May have
served in World War I. By 1930 is living in Glendale, Los Angeles, California with wife
