Nickname: Bill Skillet Head
William was known as "Skillet Head" but nobody knows why. He and his wife had a farm on Lilac Road in Grayson County, Ky. When they retired they asked their son to take over the farm and support them, but he had no interest in farming. So, Bill and Mary Ellen moved to Texas and lived with three children there and died there in 1910.
