Q:
What does Beside him his unsmiling father was stony eyed and silent not acknowledging his son in the least. mean?
A:
Oh I'm sorry! HiNative used to only show me questions from Japanese users, but they seem to have changed their system.
It would be clearer if you added a comma between "silent" and "not." In fact, it's ungrammatical without the comma. It might also help to add a comma between "beside him" and "his unsmiling father," but this is optional. Rewritten with commas, the sentence becomes
"Beside him, his unsmiling father was stony eyed and silent, not acknowledging his son in the least."
As you can see, "his unsmiling father was stony eyed and silent" is a combination of "his unsmiling father was stony eyed" and "his unsmiling father was silent." "Not acknowledging his son in the least" adds on to that, meaning he didn't acknowledge his son at all. ("Not ~ in the least" = "not ~ at all").
I hope that helps.

Synonyms of "Father" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between I was told that her father passed away last week. and I heard that her father passed away last week. ?
A:
In the first case, you were directly informed about this lady's father's death. In the second, you were informed, but not directly, i.e. by chance.
Let's say that person A knows about an offer at this restaurant.
If this was directly from their own observations, they might tell
you: "I checked out this restaurant and they have this cool thing they're making!" This is if it were in the first case.
If it was in the second case - the one where you "heard" about the news, person A might say: "There's this news around town that this restaurant is cooking this amazing dish!" They didn't ask about it, nor were they talking about it with anyone; they overheard it from recent news.
If you were actually told about some real man's news, I send my condolences.
