The second born child of:
William Wintford Parsley and Lorena (Welch) Parsley
The husband of: Gladys (Graue) Parsley
Married: 2 February 1935

the reason for Bunk as his nickname: my dad, Vol Parsley, was just a few years older than my Uncle Bunk. Bunk was a fat baby and when relatives would pick him up they would say "he's a bunch". My daddy translated it as Bunk! So his oldest brother picked out his "nickname".

They had:
one son living: William Vernon

One son, Larry Neal born and died in Tulsa.
one daughter born & died in 1948 she would have been named Elizabeth (or so I was told)
