Billy Lee Stout was born on January 1, 1928 in the Haskew Community, Oklahoma; he was one of six children born to William Charles and Opal Vulva (White) Stout. The family moved to the farm near Tangier when Bill was young and he attended Tangier schools. He graduated from Tangier High School in 1947. Bill attended Southwestern Oklahoma State University and graduated with his degree in Auto Mechanics in 1950. On March 1, 1950, Bill was united in marriage to Elsie Mae Elliott in Woodward, Oklahoma.

He honorably served his country during the Korean War and earned the Korean Service Medal with two Bronze Service Stars, the United Nations Service Medal, and the Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation. He was honorably discharged in 1954.
After his discharge, Bill returned to Woodward. He went to work for Williams Chevrolet as a Mechanic and worked there for 11 years. He then went to work for B.J. Services as a Mechanic and continued working with them until his retirement in 1983.
