William was the son of Lee E. & Etta May (Thomas) Parton.
His granddaughter, Cindie (Wells) Owen, said, "William went by Hank to his friends & Cecil to others, never by William."

Thanks to Cindie (Wells) Owen (#47724229), Cecil & Olva's granddaughter, for providing the following information.
Cecil ran a blacksmith shop & a cotton mill for years, & Olva ran a grocery store/gas station in Achille. When he was a child his father ran a store for a while & was the first unofficial postmaster with the mail being delivered to his store.
Cecil's father is Lee E. Parton & his mother is Etta May Thomas. He had one whole brother, Otha Ewing Parton, & one half brother, who went by Glenn - his first name may have been Oscar after his father - & 2 or three half sisters - I remember Aunt Ned & Aunt Lou. Etta & Lee divorced & she remarried Dr. Oscar Stringer & had more children with him. They all resided in Achille at that time.
