Willie Helen Knight (b. November 05, 1887, d. January 26, 1953)

Willie Helen Knight (daughter of Robert (Lee/Tom) Knight and Josephine Levica Hickey) was born November 05, 1887 in Paris, TX, and died January 26, 1953 in Baxter Springs, KS. She married (1) James Monroe Denson on December 04, 1907 in Lamar, Johnson County, Arkanss. She married (2) James Franklin Poole on January 17, 1910 in Greenwood, Sebastian County, Arkansas, son of James Franklin Poole and Mansafee Thunderberg.

Notes for Willie Helen Knight:
At the time of Willie's marriage to James Denson, she was living in Hazen, Prarie Co., Arkansas.
Willie Knight was sometimes called "Wild Willlie" by her family and some of her friends. In her later years, she and James Poole seperated. I believe that they eventually got a divorce. Willie had quite a bit of skin cancer on her face and the right side of her head. The cancer on her face is what finally caused her death.
