Bill was the twin of Hiriam Holman "Jake". They were born about 3:30 p.m. on a Friday in Oxford Community; Jake was born first and the doctor charged $10.00.
Bill worked as a sharecropper in his younger days. When his son, Bruce was born they were living in a potato house. When he and his wife moved to Mt. Pleasant, they ran a City Service Station. About 1960 their home burned, everything but
a wooden chest and Alma's sewing machine was destroyed. They then ran a Phillips 66 station and grocery store on the old Dallas highway outside of Mt. Pleasant until Bill's death.
He loved horses and often participated in local rodeo events. In his younger days, he participated in the bull riding. Although his real name was Howard Oron, he had Oron Bill King on his social security card and his driver's license.
