Ancil D. Varner was a Linotype operator. Their religion was Presbyterian. Although Ancil didn't get very far in school, he wanted all his children to have a good education. According to daughter, Helen Varner Hancock, after her father's death, her mother and siblings moved to Oklahoma, where they struggled to make a living. When relatives suggested they migrate west to California, "no flies, no snow and no cold weather...it sounded like Utopia". In 1922 M rs. Ancil Varner and children made along and harrowing car trip through cold, muddy and dangerously narrow roads to Texas and on to California. The day they arrived at the home of Uncle Walt and Aunt Nell's house, it rained! There, the grandchildren became acquainted with Granpa William Henry Varner.
