Our History
The legacy my father and grandfather passed on to me began in 1923-'24 when, Homer L. Thornton, started his insurance agency and Graham Federal Savings & Loan Association in Graham, Texas. Now known as Graham Savings, it continues to serve Graham and the surrounding area of Young County, Texas. My father, Homer L. Thornton, Jr. followed my grandfather, as a military veteran, farmer & rancher, corporate controller, Independent CPA and entrepreneur. H. L. Thornton, Jr helped many people and businesses keep good records, advised them on effective tax strategies and helped them make good financial decisions. His clients could know where they are, and where they may want to go, financially speaking. I continue our family name and business legacy doing business as H. L. Thornton & Co and operating by the core values passed on to me: Integrity, Service, and Excellence. Operating by these core values allows relationships to be built on mutual trust. My staff & I help our clients with asset & income protection, wealth accumulation, as well as retirement income & estate planning that may include providing funds for extended periods of healthcare. For many, education is a high priority value that may need funding for you or the next generation. Everyone's situation is unique, so together we develop customized solutions for you, your family, business, or family business. Our goal is to help you protect, grow, and keep more of what you earn so that all of us are in a position to be generous with the blessings of having a plan in place toward financial security. Goals without a plan are simply dreams yet realized. If I may be of service to you, and your legacy, reach out to me via phone (903) 818-0560 or email: Lee@HLThornton.com .
