MITCHELL, S.D. – Billy Beers and his siblings Wavelene and Bobby were brought to the Abbott House in 1945. Today Billy Beers is Bill Williams. Because of the significant impact Abbott House has had on his life, Bill Williams wanted to give something back to Abbott House. He commissioned Karen Bakke, a South Dakota artist, to create a painting of the Abbott House fire. Williams donated the original artwork to the Abbott House during the 2021 Ernie Peters Day celebration.
