William M. Read was born 1 October 1794 in North Crawley, Buckinghamshire, England, the youngest of eight children (four boys and four girls) born to William Read (also of North Crawley) and Lucy Robinson.

The Willie Handcart Company (named after Captain James Willie) was the fourth of the five handcart companies to leave Iowa City in 1856. After some delays, the company departed on July 15 with about 500 handcart members. By the time the company left Florence, NE, on August 18, it numbered 400 actual handcart members. The others had decided to stay in Iowa or Nebraska.

While crossing Nebraska, the cattle which pulled their supply wagons stampeded during a storm; traveling became much slower. Because of the loss of oxen, carts had to be overloaded to carry the provisions. The emigrants began to wear out, creating even slower progress and supplies started to run low. When the Willie Company rested near Fort Laramie on September 30, they were able to purchase only a few provisions. Rations had to be reduced. However, the Willie Company was hoping to meet supply wagons from Utah near South Pass. The weak and ill began dying with regularity, and diarist John Chislett wrote, "We soon thought it unusual to leave a campground without burying one or more persons."

On October 19, the Willie Company encountered snow along the Sweetwater and met messengers from the Utah relief company near Ice Springs. That day the company traveled to the Sixth Crossing of the Sweetwater (a few miles from present-day Sweetwater Station). The same blizzard that caught the Martin Company bound the Willie Company in their camp. The last of the flour ration was given out. The morning of October 20, Captain Willie and Joseph Elder set out to find the relief company, which was itself snowbound on the Sweetwater River between Willow and Rock Creeks. The relief company, Willie, and Elder arrived back at the Willie camp the evening of October 21. Five more people had perished from cold and starvation. Food and clothing were distributed to the destitute emigrants.

The following day, part of the relief company continued east to find the Martin Company. Six relief wagons remained with the Willie Company to help them to Utah. The Willie Company journeyed 11 miles to the base of Rocky Ridge and camped for the night. The morning of October 23, the Willie Company faced Rocky Ridge, a formidable barrier for worn-out cart pullers. Through the day they struggled up over the ridge and on to the Rock Creek area, a distance of 16 miles. The wind was blowing hard from the northwest and the snow was knee-deep. Joseph Elder wrote, "that was an awful day. many can never forget the seens they witnessed that day men women and children weakened down by cold and hunger weeping crying and sum even dying by the roadside."

The company remained in camp the next day to bury their dead and recover from the ordeal. Six more relief wagons arrived to help. Thirteen "stiffly frozen" corpses were buried in a mass grave. Before leaving that campsite on October 25, two more were interred, including William Read. As the company moved toward Utah, more rescue teams were encountered and at last all of the Willie Company found room to ride in the wagons. With better weather and sufficient food, the Willie Company arrived in Salt Lake City on November 9, 1856. Sixty-seven members of the company's 400 people had died of exposure or starvation.
