William Henry Harrison Etier was the son of William Ferdinand Etier and Mournin Humphrey Todd. He was born October 22, 1845 in Caldwell, Louisiana, and died August 10, 1910 in Marlow, Stephens County, Oklahoma. He married Mary Elizabeth Cutbirth on August 11, 1870 in Hunt County, Texas. She was the daughter of David D. Cutbirth and Jane Reed.

William was a freighter and had a wagon train. From 1867 to 1889 he drove cattle on the Chrisholm Trail, which was the main route of driving cattle northward from Texas to the railheads in Kansas. The Etier family was good friends with Quanah Parker, the Quahadi Comanche leader. From 1889 to 1910 William worked with the Indian prisoners of war at Fort Sill Military Reservation, near Lawton, Oklahoma. In 1894 Geronimo and 341 other Chiricahua Apache prisoners of war were brought to Fort Sill where they lived in 12 villages scattered around the post. Geronimo died at Fort Sill in 1909 and Quanah Parker died in 1911.
